re: #173 diocletian

the most sense i can make out of it - since i know virtually nothing about biology - is that both phosphorus and arsenic are IIRC light metals. therefore it makes sense to a layman like me that an organism could use one light metal instead of another as part of the dna. also, i get the point that use of arsenic where most life forms use phosphorus does not change a carbon based life form into an “arsenic based” life form
