If the force field was parametrized such that it is based on some real quantity 
(e.g. how CHARMM considers individual water interactions specifically based on 
QM so a molecule's interaction energy with water should be a real 
representation), it can be useful.  If the force field did not do this, then I 
don't see any physical meaning in the interaction energy.
