Therefore, if producing a gram of random RNAs is probable, producing a functional catalytic RNA becomes probable.
The probability of getting a specific RNA will necessarily depend on how frequently the assembly of RNAs take place. And that frequency will be dependent upon how readily some prebiotic chemistry can form them. Which, in turn, can't be known without a complete catalog of all the reactions that can form them.
