The both reflect the consensus among genomicists and molecular biologists.  That in turn is based on their very limited grasp of molecular evolution.  On the other side is the near-unanimous consensus among molecular evolutionists that there is lots of junk DNA.  That is based on their actually understanding the processes of inserting junk and removing it.  Unfortunately there are many more genomicists and molecular biologists, so the vote is still heavily against junk DNA.  Wikipedia has the strength and the limitation that it is a dominant-consensus view, and we can see that in a case like this it serves to reinforce a wrong dominant consensus.  Perhaps someday soon there will be a page on \u0026quot;Junk DNA controversy\u0026quot; in which the pro-junk side will get to edit the description of what we say.  When the 2012 ENCODE disaster occurred, I predicted gloomily that it would take the field 10 years to get back to where it was.  Those 10 years are nearly done, and things still look bad.
