but how do they know if they get them in the right place/sequence, is it just in the general area or is it hit and miss or do the chemical bonds determine if it will splice properly or not

I think it works like a regular expression substitution in vi where you know what your desired context is

You might not want to do

:1,$s/foobar/raboof/

but rather something like

:1,$s/my context foobar more context/my context raboof more context/

There has to be a larger stretch in which the edit in question occurs, all chemically mediated of course.
