It does not look nonsensical to me to begin with. It seems to me
that using the definitions most typical in Systems Biology, it makes
perfect sense, and that it becomes nonsensical if you use definitions
less typical in Systems Biology. To me, it looks like a clear
statement, so clear, in fact, that it is easy to tell that it's wrong.
If it was not clear, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to
prove it wrong.
Take care
Oliver
