To get significant results, we'll need to analyze the results of firing the rifle at cars thousands of times, and in the case of human genetics, every car is a little different. This study involves four or five cell lines, and they identified one gene with recurrent mutations across them, which may be just by chance. I'd file this under More Research Needed.

Yes, this is an insightful analogy.
