"Dr. Sauro is undoubtedly aware of Dr. Sleight's findings since he is not only a leading proponent of synthetic biology but a contributing developer to the LANGUAGE that defines it, Synthetic Biology Open Language (SBOL)."


Not necessarily. Synthetic biology is quite mainstream and tends to excite the antagonism only of those who are superstitious or otherwise intellectually unsound.

On the other hand, a belief in so-called programmed water used to kill E. coli, improve crop yields or (heaven help us) treat people with HIV/AIDS is anything other than mainstream.

To confuse the two areas - the first founded on reductionist science and the second on pseudo-scientific mumbo jumbo aimed at the feeble-minded- would betray a great deficiency in one's scientific understanding, of the sort that would explain how the uneducated fall for snake oil scams like magic programmed water such as that which AQLV's Hoffman, Mutisya and Sleight peddle.

"I wish I was smart enough to join him in the lab."

I'm sure there are folk on this MB who share literally the same bench space as AQLV collaborator Dr. Sleight.
