Totally agree and very easy to disprove. E.g Someone who is homozygous KO for PCSK9 will get very marginal (if any) LDL improvement (and therefore CAD risk reduction) from being homoygous KO for APOB. In individuals there are clear limits to additivity!

Crowbarring 10 rare 'protective' (as observed in GWAS) alleles all at once into a genome? Personally, I'd rather not try it. Fully agree with the statement here www.arrige.org/documents/ on the Heritable Polygenic Editing paper in Nature. Not just provactive, highly irresponsible.
