    Kind of weird to say you can’t ascribe a purpose to the beneficial mutations and that they must do something. You say they have no purpose, then say they’re beneficial (which is a purpose), then almost explicitly say that they must have a purpose.

      No, they said not to ascribe a purpose, but that it obviously has purpose. Those are not the same thing. There is purpose, but we should not presume to understand or identify said purpose.
