I can see how you would define away CRISPR as non-Lamarckian by virtue of the knowledge existing elsewhere and integrated into the bacterial genome- this feels a bit like moving the goalpost from Lamarck to Deutch’s definition of Lamarck - but I’ll play
Regardless, there are unambiguously Lamarckian processes in the vertebrate immune system; new knowledge is literally created to generate new antibodies in B cells via somatic hypermutation; good B cells proliferate and persist as memB. The way they do this;pic.twitter.com/89QZqX7mUD
leads directly into my next point; to call methylation insignificant is to misunderstand how we define a nucleotide. After all, the only difference between C and U is deamination; and the only difference between U and T is a methyl group- and so the methylation status of that Cpic.twitter.com/zMXAn6OT7R
Literally determines the outcome of deamination. This has implications for how cytosine methylation is an engine of the lamarckian process created by the epigenetic modification system... but it’s too soon for me to get into details as I’ve stated
So this is process is not “setting the thermostat on your boiler”, it is a literal change in the material composition of the boiler itself
Making intellectual progress would require an extended piece of writing with actual quotes and arguments. You haven't done this and I'm not interested in just shooting the shit. glhf
dude if you disagree you can just disagree without being a jerk
