Would somebody explain if that actually makes (sort of) sense or it's pure trolling?

- Schiphol 8y agoBenjamin seems to be a bona fide geek, and the rest of his website is quite something. The [electronic wedding invitation](https://benjamin.computer/posts/2016-11-29-WeddingInvite.html https://benjamin.computer/posts/2016-11-29-WeddingInvite.htm...) is another favorite of mine. I don't think he is trolling, no.
- 1996 8y agoThe accusations of trolling can do a lot of damage. Some people find hacking ecoli is cool - I am one of them, even if this experiment failed it is great to see what is possible right now.
- alanfranzoni 8y agoWhere is the accusation? Mine was a question. And, according to other comments, the title is actually a click-bait (no CRISPR involved). Probably I used the word "trolling" with a bit of a lateral meaning (something like "make fun of other people"), improperly.
- klmr 8y ago> no CRISPR involved Please see my follow-up comment: I was able to find the protocol of the kit that the author likely used and it looks like a CRISPR experiment after all. Its description just didn’t sound like it (the actual steps are somewhat similar between the two experiments).
- alanfranzoni 8y agoThanks for the clarification. Mine was still an honest question.
