The **thief and 100 safes** example was just plain wrong. Gpuccio wasn’t doing the math right, nor does it accurately represent how proteins and function actually work. Much was written about it; [here](https://discourse.peacefulscience.org/t/comments-on-gpuccio-functional-information-methodology/7560/338), [here](https://discourse.peacefulscience.org/t/gpuccio-functional-information-methodology/7549/180), [here](https://discourse.peacefulscience.org/t/information-is-additive-but-evolutionary-wait-time-is-not/7636/2).  
How the math _should be_ done is [here](https://discourse.peacefulscience.org/t/multiplying-probabilities/7630).

No worries. I didn’t get home home from the airport last night until 2 AM, and was up before 7 AM. Not sure how I am still able to function. 🤪
