Woese rejects the machine analogy, correct?
A. He rejects the machine analogy because, you know, this is based on our — and I brought up this point yesterday in terms of the bacterial flagellum. When it’s referred to as a machine that looks like it was invented by a human more than any other machine is an under statement because of these very parameters as well. It is resilient. It can self-assemble. We can’t make anything like it. So our analogy, I think, is limited more than anything else.
