Pol I is shitty

I was googling to find some different descriptions of DNA replication for my exam tomorrow. I found this site which, while it's not quite fully detailed, it's a very good version of more detailed than average and explained in lay person's terms.

"Ironically, it is a shitty DNA polymerase. Whereas DNA polymerase III can replicate for several hundred nucleotides, DNA polymerase I has difficulty getting past a few dozen."
The drawings are so cute! With a little more zazz, the fish could be a fiend.
