Notes from the biomass

The older ones will remember: there was once a planet that lost its status because some astronomists thought it would be a good idea to have a solid definition for the term.

When the life sciences reach the same level of seniority as astronomy, will there be votes on what constitutes a proteins complex or the levels of pathogenicity for microbes? Which would lead to grave consequences such as bumper stickers on flying cars depicting the ribosome, saying “Once I shed those RNA, I will become a real protein complex”, right next to the one of Francisella tularensis: “Honk for a class A bioweapon”.
