The problem is that HGT is less viable than natural selection.

Since HGT isn't a selection mechanism, maybe you meant to compare HGT with other sources of random genetic change?

I'm not sure why we shouldn't consider HGT just another source of genetic variation, same as as point mutations, insertions, deletions, gene duplication, etc.
