Correct. For those that might not follow, the MSA is used to generalize from known PDB structures to new sequences. If you train on AlphaFold2 results, those results include that generalization, so that your model no longer needs that capability (you can rely on rote memorization). This simple conclusion seems to have escaped the authors.
