Since I was working in academia in the (distant) pass, let me share my
(slightly educated) guess: In the paper you're supposed to show practical
applicability and relevance of the improvement you propose. It doesn't have
to be really useful but it has to sound useful enough to convince paper
reviewer. I suppose in the fuzzer area this "practical applicability" part
boils down how many bugs were reported...
