They take a decent technical concept aspect (Crispr is a subversion of existing cells running itself as opposed to something we must do manually every time like scissors), an extended metaphor that makes a bit more sense (bodies as cities of interacting cells - changing one still leaves a whole interacting system to keep in mind) and then proceed to butcher it needlessly instead of going anywhere sensible sadly. Still their start had promise and raises some interesting semantic questions. Even if Malware is the wrong term for the intended use of the tool it is certainly what it would be flagged as by the immune system because of where it treads - just like Anti-Virus software in many cases. Even so Anti-Virus is such a misleading term for Crispr both from scope collision of computer and physical viruses. Even if it how it works literally it risks confusion.
