So in other words, we don't have to worry about
genetic engineering, since genes don't do anything,
and if they did, we'd just have to define it as
something else.  Any successful products of genetic
engineering are a mass hallicination.

Forgive me, but this is just silly.  Pure sophistry
(in it's vernacular, not it's historical, sense...)
