>Wouldn't really feel we should claim that we understand how the whole process works." It's more like classical vs quantum mechanics [1]. Both are correct in their limit. And yet we also know that neither is actually True. With respect to genetic regulation we understand the largest terms in the non-linear system, and many of the smaller terms. Does that mean we 'understand' it completely? No, but like physics, we understand it 'completely enough' for many engineering purposes. The fun of it is that there are still exceptions and edge-cases to play with and learn from.
