You do not know the difference between addressing a point and restating it.

OK. What point did I restate rather than address.

Going back to an earlier comment, there is not need to guess what I am saying. It is clear. based on PH's statement:

when a biologist uses it in discussions about DNA, he's talking about the arrangement of the molecules, which determines their function.

what is the "arrangement" referred to, what are the "molecules" being referred to and what is the "function" being referred to.

Answer these basic clear questions and a lot will be elucidated.

Indeed, "restatement" is a mischaracterization. That would imply that the following are compatible:

1. What you said is completely incomprehensible.
2. I know what you mean to say, but disagree.
3. I don't know what you mean by most of the words you use so there are ambiguities.

Pick one, and I'll tell you what I think of your criticism.
