The paper apparently makes no attempt to model destructive forces. It doesn’t entertain the possibility of hard steps being undone. The history of life on the planet has seen some pretty epic scale destruction. So: I am rather sceptical whether such a model can have much of interest to say about the actual evolutionary process. I don’t think the model withstands the K-T extinction.
