What are you trying to argue?

My article's title is a good synopsis:

Group selection and kin selection are formally equivalent. I.O.W. they make the same predictions.

Richard Dawkins, E. O. Wilson, Martin Nowak and Steven Pinker are not on board with this. They have yet to join the modern scientific consensus about group selection.
