Yes; which is why I mention the Lotka-Volterra equation, and its general acceptance by biologists, as evidence that you are wrong.

Please see the edit to my earlier post. The Lotka-Volterra equation assumes infinite food.

But do you understand how biologists use it, and for what uses they accept it? Or is your explanation "well, biologists are stupid, duh"?

If you're going to go around saying the methods and conclusions in a particular domain are wrong, you need a quite deep understanding of that domain. So far, you haven't given that impression in your posts on Malthus.
