(I recognize that Shapiro's not an IDist. But can't you see how his perspective is ID friendly compared to, . . . say the perspective of Richard Dawkins? I mean, Shapiro almost sounds like he's writing an engineering manual!)

This quote from the link you gave is very revealing to me.

In terms of a 21^st Century view of evolution, the major importance of natural genetic engineering is that this capability removes the process of genome restructuring from the stochastic realm of physical-chemical insults to DNA and replication accidents. Instead, cellular systems for DNA change, place the genetic basis for long-term evolutionary adaptation in the context of cell biology where it is subject to cellular control regimes and their computational capabilities (9-11).

Sorry, I forgot to add you to my responses(posts 160 and 161). Thank you for your notices.
