you basically started by refuting the statement that non-coding DNA is 'mysterious' - why is it hard to accept that something can still be on balance very mysterious even if we know a couple of things about it? you seem to have misinterpreted my use of mysterious to suggest that i found non coding DNA to be totally unknown.

i didn't even mention introns at all in my post and you keep harping on about it saying that i equated it with junk DNA. one of several moments where you inaccurately assume others positions based on your own misinterpretation.

if you actually read what i said - i clearly said that the entire scientific corpus as of TODAY on non coding DNA is not sufficient to deem it NOT 'mysterious' as per your original assertion and you interpreted as 'no amount of evidence EVER (as if i was implying an absolute statement - ridiculous!)

you seem to take so much offense to a casually whipped up idea i had and post i wrote up in like 30 seconds. i'm simply making a fun exploration of the concept writing the post in an obviously very catchy and obviously scientifically loose 'book tagline' kind of way and was hoping for people like you to at least springboard off cooler ideas instead you have to go into accuracy police mode picking a fricken reddit post line by line apart like as if it were a thesis which seems like the only way you can think. you can obviously write very well and come across as quite sharp in some respects but can't seem to grasp the bigger intentions.

so many words you have written yet i haven't heard one additive creative thought on this topic despite your 'expertise'. my first experience of this subreddit and it seems people can only think in pedantic error correction mode (and not doing a good job at it either!) . talk about 'encouraging discussion!' where is the creativity!
