This is hilarious. I make the plausible argument that evolution has
resulted in DNA using sophisticated meta-mechanisms that themselves
drive evolution more efficiently than random base-pair mutation. And
you counter with the argument that I can't understand abstraction!

As I said, as soon as evolution is mentioned, you can hear brains
switching into low-power standby mode in all directions.
