That's interesting. I distinctly remember reading your comment, leaving the computer, going about my business, and thinking that the idea that a deficiency could being selected for was an interesting point.

(But yes, while I understood your comment just fine, I do notice some awkwardness, for example, in the second sentence, easily fixed by just deleting the phrase "it's acting on".)
