The second one is a good example for selection incentive: the incentives are there regardless of what we want. I like the counter intuitive actions in the third example: organisms are deliberately trying to achieve high reward by taking counterintuitive actions.
It’s also interesting to consider that the organisms that eat through filters aren’t always doing it deliberately. Some organisms may be designed to eat through filters without knowing what’s on the other side. They may have evolved to attack a particular filter, possibly after recognizing it, because filters tend to exist when there is some valuable resource on the other side.
