Yes, I am sure.
Consider a timed race where the competitors start at fixed intervals. During the period in which the competitors are finishing the number that arrive within any particular sub-period has very little to do with the time taken to complete the course.
quote:
Say we are looking at a period of 100 generations with 100 mutations expected to be fixed from generation 1.
If the mean time to fixity is 100 generations then we would expect 50 of those mutations to be fixed in the time available.
If the mean time to fixity is 1000 generations then very few, possibly none, of those mutations will be fixed in the time time available.
The thing you are missing is that we are not restricted to those mutations. As I pointed out earlier there will be mutations from earlier generations moving to fixation. Ignoring them will obviously underestimate the number that are fixed.
quote:
The number of mutations that are expected to be fixed within the time period DEPENDS on the time to fixity
In fact it does not. You really shouldn't be accusing others of failing to understand the subject when you don't understand it yourself.
The more so, since the number expected to be fixed is clearly the right answer, while your argument is obviously wrong.
