I made a comment here on hacker news that there were repeated code inserts in the gene sequence that meant it may have come from a lab and everyone criticised me angrily.

I’ll dig out the comment

There’s a difference between it being leaked from a lab and it being created in a lab.

I said came from , I did not differentiate between whether it was modified or created. I was referring to the gene inserts. I have no idea what your point is please do elaborate thanks

Modified and created are the same thing.

When people talk about the "lab leak theory", usually they mean it was being studied in a lab.
