Since you and Percy have agreed that both humans and chimps have lost a large number of genes since the hypothetical common ancestor you should be arguing that this constitutes a "statistically significant loss in functional information".
And yet both chimps and humans are
statistically significant functional organisms with all the same basic functionality.
Doesn't that argue that either
- "statistically significant functional information" is irrelevant to evolutionary processes and the functionality of evolved organisms,
or
- any information that was lost has been replaced/increased by new genes that provide the same basic "statistically significant functional information"
Inquiring minds want to know.
