Roger,
You never favored us with a comment on these pieces. Are you speaking to us as an evolutionist or as a contact lens wearer. As a drinker of Santa Fe tap water, I thought the following author comment was a bit unnerving. "Acanthamoeba spp. are ubiquitous in tap water (2,5), including that used by contact lens wearers to wash hands before manipulating the lens (8). Tap water hosts many organisms, including bacteria (2,5); large DNA viruses (9); and the recently described Sputnik virophage, a virus that infects ameba-resistant large DNA viruses (10)."
