How is it that nobody in the writer's room or thereafter on this show read enough Wikipedia at least, if they didn't already know just from speaking English, to learn how the word "genetics" is actually used? Everybody is constantly talking about "my superior genetics"[sic], "separating his genetics from [other guy]'s"[sic], "amending my genetics"[sic], "breaking the link between their genetics"[sic] (the latter being a magical link between a clone and the original that means if one dies the other does, which is a pretty neat trick and sounds like quantum entanglement more than anything else although obviously not exactly like anything real, but how it could be part of genetic code or affected by gene therapy is another matter). It's like the show was written by a harassed high-school student as their final exam in English class and they learned the word "genetics" but felt they didn't have time to fuss with all the nuances of related terms and concepts like "gene", "sequence", "dna", "genetic code", "gene therapy", etc, hoping their teacher would be in too much of a hurry to grade everyone's papers to take points off.
