How is this a win for abiogenesis?
Rqc2 steps in and provides (function unknown but probably bad) amino acid sequencing data for previously operational ribosomes (proteins in themselves). It looks more like an accidental add-on to a functioning protein synthesis path rather than some possible protein to life bootstrap.
Sure proteins can react with proteins and may have during abiogenesis, but this looks way too complicated to hint at a first step to me.
Heywood, you have access to magic, right? Could you ask your way up the divine command chain and get a clarification for this? Rqc2: how God turned dirt into life or just some accident at the end of the protein synthesis assembly line. No partial credit unless you show your work.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
