no thats wrong.

there is a claim that epigenetic mechanisms in bacteria provide weak support for such in humans, not true it was the basis for realizing that epigenetic mechanisms exist, and was central to understanding regulaion of expression.

there is a claim that meiosis resets the genome and that is absolutely untrue. regulation would be impossible if epigenetic state was wiped out, the result is most often cancer, or lethal dose effects at the cellular stage of development.

you say you are not a geneticist yet you are criticizing geneticists for presentation of hypotheses while lacking the background.

timing of binding and procession reative to halflife of the expression complex is a critical part of regulation of genetic activity.

i am a scientist as well, molecular geneticist; organic chemist, nuclear physicist. i am a true polymath, this is not a meme, i contract for a body of government agencies, as a science officer, thus my ID and fine details of my work are not up for discussion, nor is any of my work for the last 10 years.

i would however be fine discussing generalities of expression regulation systems if you like.
