What about what you just quoted says that RNA can not replicate itself, exactly?
You mean... other than the fact that we haven't seen it happening? That?
Funny, didn't you read the article?

This scenario could have occurred, we noted, if prebiotic RNA had two properties not evident today: a capacity to replicate without the help of proteins and an ability to catalyze every step of protein synthesis.
RNA today has the capacity to replicate with the help of proteins.

So far no RNA molecules that direct the replication of other RNA molecules have been identified in nature.
RNA today can replicate itself, just can't direct the replication of other RNA molecules.

Perhaps you didn't catch this key phrase... but that is not what you insinuated... now you are adding!

So... if it can't direct the process... the only thing you are going to get is the replication of and the replication of and the replication of the same old dead protein.

RNA viruses, specifically. They require external proteins to reproduce, but they do reproduce despite their genetic material being RNA.
