gollark: DNA is basically horrible spaghetti code with absolutely no comments and which seems like it may be partly self-modifying.
gollark: If you tweak them at all, they probably stop working properly for unfathomable chemistry/physics reasons.
gollark: I mean, consider enzymes. They can do things which regular non-biochemist chemists could only dream of, and often do multiple functions at once and interact with each other in bizarre ways.
gollark: Much of the foolish human body is like this, because it's hyperoptimized in some ways by a design process which doesn't care if our brains can actually make sense of it.
gollark: No good spec sheet/documentation either.
