Although the OP above remains somewhat disjointed, macnientspingal has made a valiant effort to clean up the original OP
here. In the interests of encouraging diversity among our participants, and based on the possibility of some interesting discussion generated by the concept of artificial reef construction and its implications for evolutionary theory and studies, I have taken the unusual step of promoting a topic that may or may not be discussable. I ask all interested participants to engage this topic on that basis.
macnientspingal: I am hoping you will be able to further develop your thesis in a logical fashion. I'd like to suggest that you take a gander at the Style Guides for EvC (link in my signature block), as well as peruse some of the Post of the Month nominations as a way of improving future submissions. Consider this a "one-off" favor.
