It's jumpy in the sense it's stochastic, but it's fairly deterministic. To give you an example, the error rate in making a protein is typically one in a thousand to one in 10,000. And that's quite a low error rate. It's much lower than the best peptide synthesizers that humans can make in the lab, have a much higher error rate and are much slower.
