The important thing is not how much hormone is released but how much is
detected and which cells are able to do it; and that depends on
diffusion, a completely random process; and when it is released is of
trivial importance as it takes eons for those huge and massive molecules
to diffuse to the next galaxy, sorry I mean cell.
Please explain why electronics is incapable of simulating such a SLOW
and boneheadly unspecific way of communicating. Yep I was right, smoke
signals in the age of the internet. It's a perfect analogy, smoke
signals work by diffusion, just like hormones. And both suck.
