title: Self-inflicted fear of evolution.
abstract: Commonly calculated zero probabilities for synthesis of a given protein sequence by chance are that small because the sizes of the proteins taken for the calculations are too large (over 100 residues). Same estimate for 20-30 residue chains makes the chance close to 1.
