DAVID:I understand how reluctantly you have come to recognize that life runs on information, with a cellular interpretation of the layers of code and modifiers doing their job. I still get the idea that originally you did not understand the presence of, and importance of, that concept.

> dhw: Please believe me when I say I am not quite that stupid. My objection was to the constant and highly confusing misuse of this word, blurring the distinction between information and the mechanism that processes it, with statements like “information runs life” or “information as the source of life”. We have reached agreement on this. -I apologize. I see you had semantic problems, as the editor you are.-> 
> dhw:As I understand it, the read/write mechanism records and retrieves information. Shapiro believes cells and organisms have the ability to process that information and make decisions based on their findings. -I know. He is discussing epigenetic changes which may cause advances in evolution.
