Do you have evidence that the variation in genome size among multicellular organisms is not variation in waste? Added: As far as I know, the consensus is that it is. If you disagree with the consensus, you should acknowledge that's what you're doing.
I haven't made a claim that strong. To the extend I made a claim it's not all variation in genome size between multicellular organisms is due to different amount of waste.
And no I don't intend to claim something that's out of consensus in this topic. To the extend I might differ on this topic from consensus consider that to be errors.
If I remember right then one reason for plants like grasses to have long genomes was to have multiple copies of genes to speed up protein production.
