@ChristophAdami I thought it sounded fishy, but had come across it in @philipcball's recent article https://www.quantamagazine.org/20170126-information-theory-and-the-foundation-of-life/ and wanted to dig into some of the research in the general area. Thanks for flagging it. I wish the publishers did a better job of providing their own caveats after-the-fact.
