They nod to it, but if you actually do a paper that argues, here's why it evolved to be this way, here's the functional reason for why it's this way, they'll say, you're doing a just-so story. You're not allowed to make hypotheses about evolution. Design, that's a just-so story. That's teleology. I was like, you're missing the entire point of natural selection.

Darwin's discovery is that, yes, there's design. That's not an issue.

Well, I mean, sexual selection has things that are not leading to perfect natural selection design. But let's set that aside for the moment. The whole point is not that there's not design. The whole point is that there need not be a master designer. That is, you can explain all this design, all the seeming teleology, without a designer. That's the whole point, right?

Reject teleology. No, like my eyes.

It's bizarre, right? And so it's a very small community and it becomes across this, you know, they attack sociobiology, you know, we also in the same kind of basis.

You start wanting to be, it happens not just when you enter into human behavior and human psychology, it happens even generally when you're talking about even rain treads, you know, rain tread, you know, pruning fingers like I did or any of the stuff that I do. That is a just so story and it is not allowed, right? Now, it's true that you can't study design the way that you study mechanisms.

You can't do a lab experiment in quite the same way. You have to ask it in different kinds of ways. You have to say, if this is really designed for what I'm claiming it's designed for, let's say, you know, if the pruney fingers are designed to be rain treads, well, then here's, let's derive what the optimal morphology would be. What should the wrinkles actually look like?
