Congratulations for the survey ! I am impressed. You have a special medline ?
I am a supporter of the "no need for the program", which is not the prevalent view.
The problem is that it is difficult to conceive heredity or development without it, except by using models we like in HBG (see the references section) :)
Most development biologists use it. Atlan says it is a metaphor, but in its most recent writing he mostly discussed whether the program is in the DNA or in the cytoplasm (remember : where is the creator ?)
I do not have additional names for your survey.
