Riddle Me This: _A YouTuber discredits thinking like a synthetic chemist. He interviews three. How many blunders does he have?_
We begin this episode by questioning whether autocatalytic cycles magically wash away origin-of-life constraints, such as low yields, enantiomeric excess, and chirality. We then meet Dr. Steve Benner, a synthetic chemist the YouTuber elected to interview, despite whether his thinking may possess "embarrassing blunders." Looking beyond double standards, we witness how Benner admits the constraints of chemistry and wonder: _If the YouTuber's autocatalytic cycle solves all, why hasn't the chemist simply applied this solution to those constraints?_ Contrary to the YouTuber's statements of ease, Benner tells us that actual (and not theoretical) chemistry is "hard to get to work." Indeed, where the rubber meets the road is key, and there are no roads on Fairytale Island. Further revealed is a false claim by the YouTuber and Benner that Dr. Tour leans on a "God of the Gaps" argument when addressing abiogenesis, despite his statements to the contrary, yet the "Lie Detector" asserts knowing best. Finally, we see how Benner's interview with the YouTuber appeared as if Benner was critiquing Dr. Tour's original abiogenesis series; however, simply by observing how off-base his statements were, whether Benner truly watched the series is seriously called into question. Concluding the episode, Benner's entire commentary becomes invalidated by way of his admission to Dr. Tour when confronted in person — Steve wasn't paying attention even if/when he did watch it. Unfortunately for the viewer, the riddle's answer quickly becomes lost in embarrassment when trying to add up all these observed blunders.
