You just aren't paying attention. TS's article referenced that study as "proof" that an airborne transmissable virus can be created in a lab without using genetic engineering. Meanwhile the study DID use genetic engineering -- that part was just left out of the article.
Wrong again Bob.
If you can point that out in TS's material please do, but in fact you used a very simple logical fallicy to assert that a study 'proved' no mutagenesis. That failure is as clear as a bell.
The other part of what you said makes no sense at all. You continue to inject pseudoscience and pseudologic into the debate, complicating things for no rational reason. Which is why I'm putting you back on ignore.
There is no 'pseudoscience' about people using natural selection to achieve a desired goal be it a bigger potato or a more useful pathogen.
Someone who simply cannot accept the idea that this
could have been part of what happened to make covid-19 what it is is very ill prepared to employ any analysis on the subject at all. That would be you.
