Agreed, not a scary word.
Yes but we have no idea if this trait was already randomly present in some plants before intense glyphosate applicatoon or was a result of a mutative adaptation by some plants as a result of it.
And agreed, what we see now is a multitude of these plants because external selection pressure selects for this particular trait/mutation.
Yes, agreed. Selection pressure accelerates the propagation of these plants.
There was nothing "pendantic"  about it. It was a request for clarification of a statement that obviously confused others.
Can we not agree that there is a significant difference between saying something accelerates the abundance and distribution of an organism with a particular trait and something accelerating mutations within an organism? Not pedantic at all. |
You aren't following the conversation. I posted it, Thor made the point that Gysophate could be replaced with any other herbicide and the discussion would be the same. No one but you seemed confused as Thor was the only one who quoted it.
The discussion was ongoing with no confusion around my post. Therefore it was pedantic.
