“If you are a level below Jaynes, Evolution is at least a hundred levels below the average engineer.”
I think there’s a case to be made that evolution, sped up, say, a million times over, or ten, might be only several levels below the average human. (Especially if we’re only considering evolution of multicellular organisms with sexual recombination, which I suppose might be analogous as only considering software development using high level languages.) And I’m willing to grant that million or ten just as a matter of conversational convenience.
