My view is that he's trying to define his way out of admitting that random mutations account for beneficial variation,
I don't think there is a problem with definition. This looks like simple denial.

However it is very difficult to get advocates to dwell on those issues. We've had very similar discussions in threads started by "shadow71'.

I believe that a scientist looking at nonscientific problems is just as dumb as the next guy.

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. Frederick Douglass
