No. This research is all about far from equilibrium systems, which also happens to be the realm of life. There IS symmetry near equilibrium, and I think a high school level of thermodynamics would expect it to be symmetric. In comparison with the high school chemistry which already considers enough phenomena to get meaningful asymmetry easily. I’m surprised at the level of surprise here, it seems motivated by some kind of certainty that I can’t tell the origin of.
