The post talks about "selection processes" without saying what that term actually means. If you think for a moment about what that term means, the claim seems likely to either be wrong, or trivially true.
I took "selection processes" to mean "natural selection".
That is probably not what it means. There are various definitions of selection - e.g. see Hull 1988 for one example:
Selection: 'a process in which the differential extinction and proliferation of interaction causes the differential perpetuation of the replicators that produced them'.
