The suggestion was that a positive energy proof for general relativity could be gotten by restricting supergravity to its bosonic sector, which is general relativity.
In ordinary quantum mechanics, there is not much theoretical motivation for using symmetric (bosonic) or antisymmetric (fermionic) states, and the need for such states is simply regarded as an empirical fact.
In QED a vertex always has three lines attached to it: one bosonic line, one fermionic line with arrow toward the vertex, and one fermionic line with arrow away from the vertex.
But the Monte Carlo method also works well for bosonic interacting field theories where there is no closed form for the correlation functions.
Fermionic or bosonic behavior of a composite particle (or system) is only seen at large (compared to size of the system) distances.
Fermions can exhibit bosonic behavior when they become loosely bound in pairs.
