Very amusing treatment of the concept. Someone else has caught the nitrogen-hydrogen error, which was the only technical error I noticed.
The analysis is especially cute. Not entirely applicable to the real world (where these things are written, largely, for amusement value and nothing more), but it's funny to hear an explanation from Starscream's perspective, anyway.
I rather like the experiment-gone-wrong in the beginning.
I disagree on the subject of paperwork, as already mentioned in another comment. Not only are some forms of it plausible in Cybertronian society, they're canon.
Weeds, I will point out, are actually generally quite hardy, and tend to thrive in conditions that are adverse to many other kinds of plants. A better analogy may be called for.
