I disagree even with your interpretation of that document, but that is not the point emphasized in the grandparent. I acknowledge that while a superintelligence need not have genes it is in fact possible to construct a superintelligence that does relies significantly on “small sections of heritable information”, including the possibility of a superintelligence that relies on genes in actual DNA. Hence the slight weakening of the claim.
