As well, it woudl appear that joyce doesn’t even beleive what he’s tryign to peddle:

“This discussion... has, in a sense, focused on a straw man: the myth of a self-replicating RNA molecule that arose de novo from a soup of random polynucleotides. Not only is such a notion unrealistic in light of our current understanding of prebiotic chemistry, but it would strain the credulity of even an optimist’s view of RNA’s catalytic potential. (G.F. Joyce, L. E. Orgel, “Prospects for Understanding the Origin of the RNA World,” In the RNA World, New York: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 1993, p. 13)”
