Mr. Apple, Mr. Orange. Glad to meet you. Likewise I'm sure.
Was this, or was it not your claim?
Nuts. Biological systems are extremely more efficient taken as a whole. Efficient in every sense...Energy efficient - more energy converted to do more work.
Maybe that was someone else using the identifier "unlearner" who posts here?
My change holder is more efficient at holding change than your jack.
...and is also NOT a biological system.
" Was this, or was it not your claim?"
My body was not designed to lift cars directly.
"[a change holder] is also NOT a biological system."
Well even my hands hold change better than a jack.
The point is that attempts to duplicate the functionality of living systems usually falls far short due to how well living things work. A rare exception might be things that are designed to kill. I think it is debatable that living things were designed to kill, even if they are capable of it.
