Yup.


You have to also have one complete cow cell to show you how the DNA
is interpreted.


I think this goes down with informal theorems "you can't learn a dead
language (only) from their stone tablets" and "you can't learn to
speak from a book". A certain amount of peripheral info is somtimes
kept outside the systems in question -- "in the ether", so to speak.


Ahhh. Quantum info and the formals of distributed computing... all very
interesting.
