That's a confusing thing to say... surely GMO doesn't necessarily remove unexpressed genes either?
To provide a counterargument, with GMO we additionally have a decent understanding of the underlying mechanics and which genes have changed. This puts us in a better position to correct things if they do turn out to have unintended consequences.

You may be correct, this was speculation based on imagination on my part - I do not know if unexpressed genes were removed in this experiment, I only have a suspicion they may have been part of the "inefficient" original sequence that was replaced.
