Thanks for the paper. Chris is wonderful and I am always in awe of Richard. I am sure it is debunked, or whatever, but I love that they reference the A.G Cairns-Smith theory of life from clay automata. That theory had a major impact on my adolescent mind via Alan Moore's reference to it when he took over the Swamp Thing comic* in the 80s and 90s. The paper itself seems to be mostly a fluff piece and a reference bonanza, but hey, we love this stuff right.
