It's a crucial difference. Encoding and persistence in your genome means permanent changes, not for a few generations, PERMANENT. Epigenetic encoding and persistence is temporary, even if it expresses for more than one generation.
Crucial difference, one is a mutation, the other an environmental adaptation.
