Now you are equivocating, CTD

Curiously this was NOT what the lecturer was talking about, so this does NOT validate the lecture in any way.

It also has not been shown to pass any heritable traits in multicellular organisms, so it's major effect is on unicellular organisms.

So your "counterargument" is a logical fallacy AND it is demonstrated to be wrong.

Curiously, we are not talking about refutation but about substantiation that the fallacy in question applies to the object of the argument.

Not so strangely you have not done that either -- typical.

Enjoy.
