Of course it’s not perfect. I’d bet most readers like myself were enjoying it, while thinking of analogies that might be more apt or illustrative. But the power of it is how quickly it can establish a frame of reference, and if desired a jump off point for further understanding.

If there are parts so fundamentally flawed or outdated as to negate the value, please, point them out. Of if you know of a better article that illuminates as much given only a 10 minute time investment, by all means please share it.

By the way, the author apparently did a talk on this in Aug 2017, in the presence of biologists, with some updates about new tech like CRISPR. I submitted a link to the blog post about this[1] yesterday, but it didn't gain much traction then (probably due to bad title: "DNA: The Code of Life" just sounds like some basic biology piece).
