Since were talking about code here; To put this in simplistic computer terms, it sounds like what they thought was Junk DNA are like library files, DLLs etc, that by themselves dont do much until they are called by other programs and integrated with other code to do something. I made a similar analogy yesterday. I'd add another aspect, too (I'm thinking like a C++ programmer here): that some of what's in the so-called "junk" has the same role that classes and types play in computer code: they're all over the place, doing lots of different things that don't make sense until you know the variables they're supposed to represent.

Yea, that analogy works too. But since I’m not a programmer per se, I didn’t think of it.
