"Primarily the article is irrelevant because it ignores selection."

No.

"Selection" merely culls from an existing population. The math in the article gave credit to *any* correct sequence in the entire population. Thus, it is "selection" that is irrelevant to the debate, not that article.

How, exactly, do you define a "correct" sequence? Are you assuming that anything not identical to a current genome is incorrect? If so why? If not, what makes it incorrect?

Do you have a list of correct and incorrect sequences? Do you have some objective formula for defining correct and incorrect. If so, that would be worth aa Nobel Prize. Have you published?
