Dr Adequate,
Please get back on topic.
We're debating mutant new genes and the credibility of *new genes* at the gene pool level, not dafinitions.
Well, I hate to correct you, but you were in fact discussing definitions.
Beneficial (advantageous) mutations don't ever occur (unless one unscrupulously perverts the defintion of mutation into mere "change"...
Your contrary lexicon and biology dafinitions seem ridiculous.
Why not support YOUR own dafinition
If I write the books I can redefine "beneficial mutation";
Remember?
If you will not admit that "mutation" means a change in the genome, then we cannot discuss biology with you any further, for want of a common language.
