nNos a useless harmful byproduct

Nitric Oxide is not the mandatory messenger of intelligence but a corrosive metabolic exhaust produced as a byproduct of the high-voltage Calcium signaling required for spontaneity and divergent thought. The ultimate proof of this "Byproduct Theory" is the 1993 nNOS-knockout study, which demonstrated that brains physically incapable of producing neuronal Nitric Oxide still maintain perfectly normal Long-Term Potentiation (LTP).
