DNA replication involves more than just the strand itself.
At any rate, what you are saying is exactly what this experiment shows. Even with no selection function more than just randomness the algorithm works and forms order from chaos.

This is also a misconception. Not only can self replication chemistry happen it happens mroe often than scientists once thought. There are certain hydrocarbons that self replicate.

Uhh...that's exactly what this experiment assumes. Perhaps you didn't understand it. Simply saying a lot of different stuff can replicate doesn't explain the order we see.
Thanks for the input though. I think you assume I'm a lot more ignorant than I really am but that's your right.
