I agree with you here but I get to a happy conclusion. The (self- or culturally imposed) constraint on computation to be semantically meaningful for humans does not apply for genomes. But this is already useful, because it means we at least have a hint about where to dig more in programming.

There is Theory of Computation and there is Theory of Programming. Your arguments apply to TOP but not to TOC.
