beef is not with the label 'evolution' or 'NS' is what actual
mechanism these terms are supposed to be a proxy for.

I'm more persuaded by all your other posts in this thread that
indicate you have you no interest in the actual mechanism.

You need to end this game you're playing. You would have saved a lot
of people a lot of time if you'd just said up front that you weren't
interested in the actual mechanism of natural selection and that you
were really only interested in who said what about it and when and
with what exact words.

Which begs the question: What is natural selection and who says so?

If you are so interested in meanings of things, why don't you learn
what "begging the question" really means?
