J Thomas,

Well, this is about to scroll off, but I would ask: 1) Did anybody prior to Eldredge and Gould point out this argument? (Answer: NO) 2) Is it important? (Answer: YES, at least it is in all the textbooks and is widely studied and discussed) 3) Do you or anybody else have a more important new idea in evolutionary theory that has appeared in the last half century??? I asked this some time ago. Nobody has stepped forward, other than myself with coevolution. Are you going to? Are able to? I doubt it.

You are just making yourself look as foolish and off the wall on this matter as Eliezer.
