Paul Price: What are the Substantive Critiques of Genetic Entropy?

Correct. As I suggested a long time ago, there fuzzy areas where that’s only an approximation – if the population has changed size, for example – but it’s a good approximation.

Again correct, although again there are edge cases. Some deleterious mutations that affect function can occasionally reach high frequency by chance, for example. But beneficial mutations, which are rare compared to deleterious ones, also occur quite frequently.
