What you are saying is that the signal the hormone is carrying is small
but incredibly profound, however neither you nor anybody else has given
any evidence to think that is true. Not even a hint.

A keen grasp of the obvious.

The precise hormone level can't be very critical because it is
transmitted by diffusion, a slow random and imprecise method that the
stupidest computer engineer on the planet wouldn't dream of using.
