You do get at a really deep thing about biology with that "thin and delicate regime" bit! Things that are really stable (or really dramatic) are easy to study but not to alter, and life has to be constantly moving. Even plants and sessile animals are moving energy and nutrients. So all the most interesting regulatory interactions happen with systems poised on a knife edge, that just BARELY go the way you expect them to most of the time.
