The bottom line is that I'm going to have to do a lot more reading before I can explain this in a less garbled manner, but my opinion is that the behaviour of this plasmid and its nylon-digesting gene is a wonderful example of selection pressures acting on a population and demonstrates perfectly the mechanisms behind the ToE.
I am awaiting with breathless anticipation for a thoroughly informed and referenced careful consideration of the matter from someone who has a some good background knowledge in the matter and has chased up the relevant literature.
Take the time you need; but do take the time! Thanks. This is, by the way, a case where a good post is something that could be made into something for the talkorigins archive. Best wishes to the toddler; I'll be appropriately patient.
