It gets better:

Let me use Musgrave's words to make the point:

Roy:
But those aren't Musgrave's words. Musgrave writes:
"Trying to compare the appearance rate of beneficial mutations in a
population of 5 individuals with the substitution rate of beneficial
mutations in a population of between 10,000 to 100,000 individuals
is a pretty big blunder to make"
Musgrave's main point was that you had changed the population size in
the simulation from the default of 100 down to 5, possibly through
ignorance of how the program worked, and then commented on the
slow rate of substitution.
Yet in your quote above, you appear to have changed Musgrave's text to
hide this point, and make it appear that he is referring to the default setting in the simulation.
Do you have an explanation?
