That is the case in the field but its only in popular press we get a “junk dna may not be junk” repost every few years. And the resulting comments always go as you expect: people out of the field commenting on hubris, people in the field saying people in fact make careers studying the dynamics of this “junk dna” and its not really a term used in the field. Every thread on this exactly the same whether I see it here or on reddit.
