However, in the process of DNA repair, many of the mistakes are resolved by checking the copied data against the original data.

“Much of the ill-tempered railing against women that has characterized the popular writing of the last two years is a half-hearted attempt to find a way back to a more balanced relationship between our biological selves and the world we have built. So women are scolded both for being mothers and for not being mothers, for wanting to eat their cake and have it too, and for not wanting to eat their cake and have it too.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
“The young always have the same problem—how to rebel and conform at the same time. They have now solved this by defying their parents and copying one another.”
—Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)
