In my experience most mathematicians are intellectually lazy and especially dislike reading experimental papers. He seemed to have very strong biological intuitions but unfortunately of negative sign.

A final proof of our ideas can only be obtained by detailed studies on the alterations produced in the amino acid sequence of a protein by mutations of the type discussed here.

This seems highly likely, especially as it has been shown that in several systems mutations affecting the same amino acid are extremely near together on the genetic map.

We have to take away from humans in the long run their reproductive autonomy as the only way to guarantee the advancement of mankind.

In my experience most mathematicians are intellectually lazy.

My own prejudices are exactly the opposite of the functionalists': "If you want to understand function, study structure".

It now seems very likely that many of the 64 triplets, possibly most of them, may code one amino acid or another, and that in general several distinct triplets may code one amino acid.
