I know, I was pointing out that the phrasing "viruses can replicate" is incorrect in every sense of that active verb "to replicated". They can be replicated, and there is a non-trivial difference between those two descriptions that matter to this scientific explanation.
Really? If you don't have anything to contribute to a discussion, please don't drum up noise. Splitting hairs over whether a virus replicates or is replicated is just spamming the forum!
I understand that with a wide enough audience, attention seekers will make some noise about some minutae they know that isn't relevant to the discussion. Don't be THAT guy.
