Which is precisely what I was saying. There's no such thing as a discrete,
identifiable "gene", but nonetheless we can calculate good odds for the

there's no need to quibble that they don't exist in reality.

Which is also precisely what I said, that memetic evolution is
comparable to genetic evolution in that aspect. You have just shown
