These calculations seemed off so I checked in on Koonin to see why he is so opposed to the RNA hypothesis. So I started reading his book.

Koonin has developed and prefers his own model called the Virus World where viruses play the key part in the development and evolution of life. It's his pet theory for decades. He specifically makes the requirements ridiculously high in the last part of the calculations because otherwise it wouldn't support his model, where viruses bridge that cap by preserving and carrying the required components.
