The reverse-engineering issue was popularized by this article, https://www.cell.com/cancer-cell/fulltext/S1535-6108%2802%29...

On the second point, the failure of Openworm to model the very well-mapped-out C. elegans (~0.3k neurons) says a lot.

I just read that article and enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing! I don’t think the author was arguing biological processes can’t be reverse engineered, but rather that the tools and approaches typically used by biology researchers may not be as effective as tools and approaches used by engineers.
