So let me be more concrete. Because every model is a simplification. What I mean to say is that the model used here, is far too simple to draw conclusions.
The central statement of this entry is “There’s a limit on how much complexity an evolution can support against the degenerative pressure of copying errors”.
In order to check the model, the statement should be quantified, so it can be matched with measurements. Maybe something like “the genome of a species can have maximally 50k genes”. That requires that the model should be enhanced.
If on purely mathematical grounds was realized that selection pressure can not support 3 billion bases of useful information, before the discovery of junk DNA and the 25k genes in the human genome, then surely there has been some development in the mathematical modeling of evolution since then.
