The mere fact that McGuire teaches a PPU that can perform parallel/concurrent processing of threads and programs does not mean that applying such concurrent processing to any two particular elements would have been obvious. As Judge Learned Hand long ago explained, simply finding prior art disclosures of the claimed elements is insufficient:

[a]ll machines are made up of the same elements; rods, pawls, pitmans, journals, toggles, gears, cams, and the like, all acting their parts as they always do and always must. All compositions are made of the same substances, retaining their fixed chemical properties. But the elements are capable of an infinity of permutations, and the selection of that group which proves serviceable to a given need may require a high degree of originality. It is that act of selection which is the invention ....

The Examiner erred reversibly because the anticipation rejection is grounded on a meaning of parallel that is contrary to the plain meaning of the term. See Rapoport v. Dement, 254 F.3d 1053, 1059 (Fed. Cir. 2001) (In determining the meaning of the claims, we turn first to the claim itself.)

Accordingly, accommodating the unpredictability in making minimally genetically modified soybean plants for achieving specific fatty acid content requires more explanation in order to have an enabled disclosure. Cf. In re Bowen, 492 F.2d 859, 862 (Cust. & Pat. App. 1974) (“In cases involving unpredictable factors, such as most chemical reactions and physiological activity, the scope of enablement obviously varies inversely with the degree of unpredictability of the factors involved.”).
