Which kind of proves my point, doesn't it? 
Sounds like the biological equivalent of handwavium!

There's a story in the 'Endangered Species' 
collection involving some sort of 'dark matter' life.

  Another 
  possibility is that Wolfe simply chose to ignore those complications. As an 
  engineer, he is sometimes very technical---see the remarkably elegant 
  explanation presented in this list for the Long Sun. But he is not really a 
  hard-SF kind of guy, not when details might get in the way, and maybe 
  especially in terms of biology. And he's never proposed non-carbon life or 
  non-iron blood in any story, as far as I know.
