The way Gould re-framed it was to "trace" conTINental formalism vs anglophonic adaptations. I would not have made the connection to Fisher this way but this does not make GOuld "wrong" in my book. Why do you say he is wrong? Dawkins being correct has however NEVER seemed plausible to me. Obviously data tells more than opinions. I think really it was only that Gould had to deal with Mayr which Croizat rejected offright and onpoint used his birds to his own rate.
I did not know about Woods Hole and orthogenesis , but now my converstation with Marjore Green AGAINST Provine makes "perfect" sense and I did not need to win a Golden Globe to agree with Gould.
