Disconcerting, like returning to someone's comment, and it's subtly different from how you remembered (before you knew of the recent editing feature).
Most (all?) scientific ideas are simplifications. e.g. that species are separate. That the relationships between species can be represented by a tree.
Yes, it used to be taught that genes don't change. But there's methylation and telomeres and "gene therapy" is a thing. I agree that changing gene expression sounds like sophistry, since the point of genes is their effect. Sounds like Lamarckism to me.
Everything you've been taught is wrong - in that however thoroughly something is known, there's always more to it.
