Your last statement
“ the human mitochondrial genome accounts for 0.0005 percent of the total human genetic information.”
is inconsistent with EVERY ONE of the statements you quoted.
This means
a) you, and
b) they, despite their high authority
are all wrong, and I knew better, and now you've admitted it, so please don’t bore me with your supercilious tripe about ‘more informed opinion’.
“ then readers can make up their own minds about how much weight an argument carries.”
Until you have accepted and admitted that you and all the sources you cited were wrong, and that it’s you with the less informed opinion, you are not in any position to talk down to me about how much weight my argument carries.
‘The truth will set you free’. If you’re openly defending untruth after it’s been pointed out to you, what makes you think you’re not embracing still more fallacies that you’re not even aware of? Next you need to understand and admit that the energy supply of the cell has its origin in the mitochondrial genome.
You have done nothing to diminish my remarkably fine argument, but given a good example of defence of untruth and illogical by appeal to absent authority that just happens to be wrong.
