AZPaul3:Yeah, right, like you are going to explain the Kishony and Lenski experiments. You can't even explain why the Colorado River is drying out so fast. Thank California which is dumping water from the Sierras into the ocean. I hope you like it dry, real dry.

Kleinman:Who cares what you believe, it is wrong. Kleinman:Which one explained the Kishony and Lenski biological evolutionary experiments? None of them have. Kleinman:Yeah, you have the facts but they don't include the physics and mathematics of the Kishony and Lenski experiments. You have 200k retroviral infections that don't do a thing to a germ line when Taq gives one example of koalas that may go extinct from a single infection. You are brilliantly wrong and completely without facts, only silly speculation. I hope you like it dry, real dry.

Theodoric:Lenski just needs to learn some thermodynamics. And he's not the only biologist that is deficient in that training. There are plenty out there that don't know simple thermodynamics. But you are all such great scientists without understanding thermodynamics.

Kleinman:Sure, you are right. About what, who knows? Kleinman:Sure, you are an expert in the facts. Fish evolve into mammals and reptiles evolve into birds, you are so smart. Kleinman:You are an expert, in what, we don't know. But I hope you like it dry, real dry.

Kleinman:Of course, it is true. Too bad you can't explain how bacteria evolve resistance to an antibiotic and why cancer treatments fail. And I hope you like it dry, real dry.

Kleinman:Yeah, your argument makes real sense, only 199,999 retroviral infections to go. This is what you get with 26 years in the lab. No one dies from a retroviral infection, in fact, a germ line cell can have 200k without any harm. This is the kind of garbage you come up with.

Kleinman:I guess you aren't going to explain that one. Kleinman:You cite papers, I cite actual examples. Why doesn't recombination defeat these real examples of combination therapy? And when does recombination or population size defeat these treatments? You simply don't understand how population size affects biological evolution and how frequencies of variants determine the probability of a recombination event occurring. You didn't figure that out with your 26 years of research.

Dredge:I said, go for it, show how a phage makes UCD possible and you cry that I don't explain your experiment. Explain to us how this experiment changes descent with modification for a single evolutionary step. You won't because you know it is only a single evolutionary step when the Kishony experiment takes 5 evolutionary steps and Lenski's experiment takes about 100 evolutionary steps. And you are an idiot to think that 200k retroviral infections don't do any harm to a germ line cell. That's just plain stupid. Haven't you learned what HIV does to humans and what your retroviral infection does to koalas?

Kleinman:I have the physics and the math, that's all you need to understand the Kishony and Lenski experiments and descent with modification with and without competition. Kleinman:Here's where he acknowleged that he doesn't know why competition slows evolution in the paper he edited. Distribution of fixed beneficial mutations and the rate of adaptation in asexual populations When large asexual populations adapt, competition between simultaneously segregating mutations slows the rate of adaptation and restricts the set of mutations that eventually fix. This phenomenon of interference arises from competition between mutations of different strengths as well as competition between mutations that arise on different fitness backgrounds. Previous work has explored each of these effects in isolation, but the way they combine to influence the dynamics of adaptation remains largely unknown.
I explained to him just like I explained to you that competition slows descent with modification for all lineages because of the limited energy in the environment. Some lineages use energy but they go extinct but that also limits the most fit lineage from achieving the population necessary for an adaptive mutation to occur. Understand rubberband. Whether he acknowledges this first law of thermodynamics fact, you will have to ask him.

Dredge:Tany still has to learn the laws of thermodynamics and how to do math. He won't do that chasing bugs.

Kleinman:He can call whomever he wants. If he doesn't want to understand his own experiment, that's his prerogative. He just doesn't understand the thermodynamics of his own experiment.

Kleinman:Yeah, right, that's why Desai wrote: Phenotypic and molecular evolution across 10,000 generations in laboratory budding yeast populations As human health is increasingly threatened by emerging pathogens, multidrug-resistant infections, and therapy-evading cancer cells, our understanding of the dynamics and predictability of evolution is of growing importance. Yet predicting the course of evolution is difficult, since it is driven by a complex combination of deterministic and stochastic forces. On the one hand, beneficial mutations that establish within a population often rise to fixation at rates nearly perfectly predicted by decades-old theory. On the other hand, random forces such as mutation, genetic drift, and recombination ensure an enduring role for chance and contingency. To understand evolution, we must appreciate the interactions between these deterministic and stochastic components.
Yeah, right, you know how to explain the evolution of antibiotic resistance and why cancer treatments fail. I hope you like it dry, real dry.

Theodoric:How sad, and just when I thought you were going to explain the physics and mathematics of the Kishony and Lenski experiment. We'll miss your wisdom.
