That figure you use of 10^94. We don't know that these will function just
fine (to say nothing of dandy) at all. We only know of a few thousand that
will function just fine in specific organisms and one or a handful that
will function just fine in man. The others are just hypothetically
conceivable, but untested. Probably most would not work in man, So your
point is weak.
