I agree with shadow71 here that, hypothetically speaking, if mutations were to be shown to be none-random in that outside stimuli can produce the right mutations for adaptation, this would be a much more profound change to the fundamentals of the theory then pretty much everything since the synthesis.
This is because you effectively touch upon one of the two basic principles. You go from random mutations to none-random.

Yeah well I perfectly understand that, I was just saying that hypothetically speaking, what shadow71 proposes would entails a drastic revision, not simply 'details'
