You didn't "show" it; you simply asserted it. You also made a number of appeals to (uncited) authority concerning the nature of computers.
You made an argument from cells; I presume that was to do with the way that DNA and so on works. Although not all cells have DNA...
Anyway. I concede that was an argument, and not a bald assertion. But it's a circular argument; if your definition of "computer" includes the operation of DNA, then the conclusion that a computer can exist without interpretation or intent is unavoidable. You're definition begs the question.
> Please imagine that my response is "I said good day sir!"
That sounds a lot like "Anyway, why do I think I have time for this ... "
It's clear to me that "stuff" can be arranged to work as a Turing Machine (or some other kind of computer) without design or intent. Whether it is such a thing or not depends on how it is used; a Turing Machine that is given random inputs, or whose outputs don't mean anything to anyone, is a computer only in a formal sense. If nobody knows that some thing is a computer, I'm not sure that it's computer-ness is meaningful.
So that's why I think intent and interpretation are relevant.
