quote from molecular biology

.

In the context of accuracy when replicating DNA:


"You'll find, the more you study biology, the more biology would rather be overworked but correct, than under-worked and incorrect. So doing a little extra work to make sure it's right is worth doing."

Mama Nature has a heavy belief in double-checking and redundancy....... 

Redundancy:   the inclusion of extra components that are not strictly necessary to functioning, in case of failure in other components.
