Fantastic analysis!

I think it's interesting that the XOR method, which appears to be the most efficient, and widens it's lead as the problem space expands, corresponds more closely to how nature itself "searches" and "parses" amino acid strings than any of the other methods. Our sensibilities ought to help us realize that if millions of years of evolution have selected a solution to a problem, there must be something useful there.
