	That is IMHO a brilliant statement, in 
the style of Churchill or more cogently his 
protégé R. V. Jones.
	For those who've not followed this warped 
'genome' saga, could we spell out those refuted 
assumptions?  I'll make a start:

1.  The nuclear DNA sequence of a cell is in a 
simple 1:1 relation with the sequences of the 
proteins it encodes.

2.  Once that 'genome' DNA sequence has been 
found, it will be useful to design drugs.
