His information-theoretic argument is bullshit. Behold, a countably infinite set represented in 36 bytes: c = 0
while True:
print c
c += 1
The author clearly does not understand information theory or recursion. But that doesn't mean that he is wrong that heritibility is more than just DNA. That is a well established fact, but he seems to want it to be the accepted conventional wisdom so that he can challenge it. He would be better served trying to keep up with the modern literature than attacking a ghost.
