The only thing not to like in Haldane's original formulation of the problem was his describing it in terms of "genetic death". For those who would raise that as an objection, Walter Remine has a couple of new papers out which describe the problem entirely in terms of birth rates.

"The only thing not to like in Haldane's original formulation"
You see, here's the crux of the problem. Whether or not you like Haldane's formulation is irrelevant to the fact that it's completely arbitrary. I'm sure that you just love his math, but it's still based off of a model that he custom built to give the results that he wanted and not to accurately represent how evolution works.
