I don't know if this is a useful contribution to the subject but, I seem to recall reading in a text ages ago that identical genotypes can manifest as different phenotypes, given varying environmental conditions.
 
This would seem to imply that their is some flexibility in how the gene expresses itself physically.

If not science, genes or DNA then what? There is no dogma in science, any study, test, or theory can be found to be in error and changed. It is the scientific process that is important.
