I'm not confusing you for anyone - I explicitly said I was making the same point. You are arguing that genetically modifying mouth bacteria to not-form biofilms could be detrimental to health, and I pointing out that if that was true, we would already see those affects from daily brushing. You seem to agree that brushing removes biofilms, so I guess I don't understand your original hypothesis.

> modifying mouth bacteria to not-form biofilms could be detrimental to health I said it would be detrimental to the bacteria’s health not the persons. Not brushing would be bad for a persons health, and this would still be true after treatment with modified bacteria.
