Claude's analysis is path dependent (as always). And a critical part of the prompt-pathway is my fascination with the claims against evolution made by (even more ignorant than me) Intelligent Design advocates (IDers). A significant problem with biologists' attempts to *charitably* address issues raised by IDers is that the IDers are not humble enough to learn what *working* evolutionary biologists actually *do*. Claude was charitable to you, Nick, too in saying that your work is perhaps too philosophical and/or metaphorical to be directly relevant to current work in evolutionary biology. So my own conclusion (as incompetent as it is) might be that your paper probably applies well as a case to study in a theory of metaphor, but is largely irrelevant to evolutionary biology. That's OK. But as Dave points out, we want to be clear about the domain we're in: a theory of metaphor *or* hypothesis formulation in biology. I claim we shouldn't conflate those two domains.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Anyway, here's Perplexity's assessment of Claude's claims:<o:p></o:p></p><h2 style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left:0in;box-sizing: border-box;border-bottom:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.18);border-top-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.18);border-right-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.18);border-left-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.18);font-variant-ligatures: normal;font-variant-caps: normal;orphans: 2;text-align:start;widows: 2;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;text-decoration-thickness: initial;text-decoration-style: initial;text-decoration-color: initial;word-spacing:0px' id=1-gardner-2015-mathematical-resolution-of-thompsons-ambiguities><span style='font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#CCCCCC;font-weight:normal'>1.

The second is that for each of the two people whom I most hoped to reach when I wrote it, D. S. Wilson and Elliott Sober, it is a piece of crap. In it, I try to show that the problem with metaphors is not with their use in scientific thinking: on the contrary, it is with their ill-disciplined use. Metaphors need to be worked in a systematic way, not simply flung out in a gust of poetic exuberance. This lesson I try to teach by working the natural selection metaphor in a systematic way to show that if it had been treated seriously in the first place, the whole dispute about group selection might have been avoided.
