> Yes, let’s. Let’s say I hand you a page of meaningless gibberish, typed by a monkey. That’s what junk DNA is. Now start making random changes to it. Do the changes make it more or less meaningful?

Let’s extend the analogy. Letters take different amounts of toner to print. So each time you change a letter, you’re changing the printing cost of the page slightly. Now go back to making random changes to your page of gibberish: do you think that as you make change after change, the cost of printing the page will steadily mount?
