<p>Independent of the topic you are trying to support and the
distortion of speech-to-txt transliteration, it is good to hear
your "voice" here on the list. I myself am about to hit the
road for a long trip and with any luck will be entirely
unmotivated to stick my anecdotes into everyone else's serious
discussions here for that duration. I am sometimes surprised at
how much I depend on the background warp and weft of public
commentary and self-inspection that flows here. Your voice is an
important feature in that texture.</p>

<div>Dictating:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I want to clarify a muddle I have introduced into our
conversations about natural selection. The middle I’ve
introduced is in naming the statistical conditions under which
natural selection as possible. I have called this condition
“additivity a variance“. After a long conversation in which Jon
patiently led me step-by-step through my own logic, I have come
to realize that while the point I am making is valid, the words
I am using are utter nonsense. I should’ve said that for natural
selection to occur, main effects for parentage should
predominate amongst sources of variance. I won’t say more until
I get my damn computer back, And then only if somebody six
further clarification.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Irrelevantly, The dictation app on the iPhone is god awful
trash. It’s not very smart to begin with and it does not learn.
Does anybody know of a better?</div>

<div>I hope to get my computer back on Saturday.</div>
