Quote: \xe2\x80\x98There are no beneficial mutations.\xe2\x80\x99 This is not true, since some changes do confer an advantage in some situations. Rather, we should say, \xe2\x80\x98We have yet to find a mutation that increases genetic information, even in those rare instances where the mutation confers an advantage.\xe2\x80\x99 For examples of information loss being advantageous, see Beetle Bloopers: defects can be an advantage sometimes, New eyes for blind cave fish? and Is antibiotic resistance really due to increase in information?
Response: They say: don\'t say this incorrect statement, say this other one instead!\nWow, the "information" thing will never cease to kill me.\n
