Time to clear up some of the misconceptions and incorrect claims in this thread and accompanying paper: 1. Localization of function and context independence of functional selectivity are not "assumptions” but empirical hypotheses. It does not advance science to replace them with opposite assumptions (as LFB proposes). Rather, we should test these hypotheses against data.

I am not usually the hero worshiping type but OMG what a thrill and an honor to meet the amazing Katalin Kariko today! Kariko pursued her ideas about the medical applications of mRNAs for decades against all odds, with almost no funding or recognition.
And the technology she developed provided the critical foundation for the COVID-19 vaccines that have saved millions of lives.
