Someone objected to the new section on jenetiks being stricken with the conclusion that genetics is the cause. I moved to strike it, because it was confusing. In other words, it does not make the conclusion that genetics is the cause, nor does it support anything it does say, so I would delete the section to over-rule an objection. I was looking for a citation, because a magazine or something does not archive editorials. It turns out that Gajdusek did not like it when Prussiner introduced the word "prion" into English. If I had been looking for "Scrapie", then I might hav found it. It belongs in a subsection in the section about debate. If Prussiner can be credited with anything other than a Nobel prize, it is that his hypothesis tested the dominant theory that life requires both D.N.A. and protein to reproduce. In a sympathetic jesture, jenetiks does hav things to say about Protease Resistant Protein, so I would give genetics the last word in the debate.

2009/3/10 Michael Bimmler &lt;mbimmler(a)gmail.com&gt;om>: I'm in a similar position - I think this should be on the talk page where people that have the faintest idea what "jenetiks" is might be around.

2009/3/10 Carcharoth &lt;carcharothwp(a)googlemail.com&gt;om>: From context, I don't think so. "Someone objected to the new section on jenetiks being stricken with the conclusion that genetics is the cause." That sentences uses both words and seems to suggest they are somehow alternatives. I could go and look it up, I guess... hang on. It seems the word doesn't exist... Now I'm even more confused.
