Why Banks Are Testing Bitcoin's Blockchain (Without Bitcoin)

http://www.americanbanker.com/news/bank-technology/why-banks-are-testing-bitcoins-blockchain-without-bitcoin-1074622-1.html

How is this any better than a MySQL database if it's for internal record-keeping? I still don't get it. At least it's a practically free way for them to explore how Bitcoin works.
