What kind of approach do you see here? Yes you can create an infinite amount of samples to test on, but you still have to deal with the millions of copies in the wild.
- throwaway290 3y agoIf it's a copy of the same thing then any measure that works against one would work against all. Other ways of reproduction add randomness and mutations which make it difficult
- closetnerd 3y agoPoint being you gotta get your measure to the millions of other clones.
- zimpenfish 3y ago> any measure that works against one would work against all Modulo any environmental or self-mutation factors, I suppose? Might be that a tick which sucks blood from deer with XYZ picks up a parasite or bacteria which protects it against your measure. Or one crawls through some chemical goop / radioactive slop / gets hit by a cosmic ray etc. and gets a mutation which helps. (Both fairly unlikely, I'll grant, but when you're dealing with millions or billions of ticks, unlikely is likely to happen a lot.)
- throwaway290 3y agoYeah it would be modulo those.
