“Sowing confusion?” How, exactly? I understand him perfectly, and his comments are clear and consistent. Yours are an incoherent mess.
We still have no idea regarding the “fundamentals” of GE?

If yes, how do reconcile the contradiction between the fitness of a lineage steadily increasing, and also heading inevitably to extinction? That is like saying someone grows shorter as his height increases.
