selection for suitability LadyLorraine - 06/08/2011 04:18:51 PM 701 Views
Thanks for your responce Bramhodoulos - 06/08/2011 04:41:20 PM 820 Views
I can't speak for LadyLorraine and won't try, but here's how I see it: Joel - 06/08/2011 06:49:49 PM 754 Views
Just a question Bramhodoulos - 06/08/2011 07:18:09 PM 745 Views
Yes it can ßelals Girl - 06/08/2011 07:41:59 PM 621 Views
But how? Bramhodoulos - 06/08/2011 07:52:10 PM 818 Views
Okay, I think I see what you're saying ßelals Girl - 08/08/2011 05:30:43 PM 634 Views

I'm not sure I understand you Bramhodoulos - 06/08/2011 08:20:44 PM 734 Views
All tautologies are truisms, but not all truisms are tautologies. Joel - 06/08/2011 09:38:12 PM 753 Views
Then it is still a tautology Bramhodoulos - 06/08/2011 09:45:33 PM 766 Views
You can know it's beneifical to a particular individual, but it's harder to say for populations. Joel - 06/08/2011 10:18:16 PM 867 Views
Maybe... Bramhodoulos - 07/08/2011 01:55:54 PM 723 Views
I'm more inclined toward his logic, but possibly toward your conclusions. Joel - 09/08/2011 12:45:46 AM 808 Views
we can't really know ahead of time what makes a specific trait benefical in that environment LadyLorraine - 09/08/2011 06:16:02 PM 871 Views
As I understand it Praziquantel - 06/08/2011 06:04:44 PM 689 Views
Better... Bramhodoulos - 06/08/2011 06:36:38 PM 678 Views

Oeh Bramhodoulos - 07/08/2011 01:54:19 PM 681 Views
Did you perhaps mean "beneficial in the environment" rather than "beneficial to the environment"? Joel - 06/08/2011 06:34:44 PM 802 Views
yes. I did not really phrase that very clearly. *NM* LadyLorraine - 09/08/2011 06:14:11 PM 322 Views
No biggy; from what Bram said, I underestimated how well you were understood anyway. Joel - 09/08/2011 06:45:16 PM 742 Views
Hmmm... there's some truth to that Isaac - 06/08/2011 06:36:35 PM 766 Views

The complexity of the problem makes it all but impossible to falsify... jh - 06/08/2011 08:26:06 PM 791 Views
The questions go deeper Bramhodoulos - 06/08/2011 08:38:31 PM 790 Views
Re: The questions go deeper jh - 06/08/2011 09:10:32 PM 772 Views
I think I know why you don't understand my question. Bramhodoulos - 06/08/2011 09:38:41 PM 798 Views
How many equation's has Moraine screwed up? *NM* Isaac - 06/08/2011 09:45:36 PM 327 Views
100% I think Moriaine is a very beneficial trait that contributes a lot to the RAFO pool *NM* Bramhodoulos - 06/08/2011 09:46:54 PM 350 Views
