You infer an engineer.

No, one of the characteristics of a self-adjusting system is that engineering decisions can be made without an engineer or a decider.

Natural Selection, the cornerstone of Evolution, dictates that species with vulnerabilities be completely eliminated by species without.[etc.]

Not at all. "Fittest" is not the same as "perfect."

Your statement is self contradictory.

A self-adjusting system must decide when and how to self-adjust.

Engineering is a process of decisions.

A system without any means of deciding cannot self adjust, let alone self-engineer.

You know of any such systems? I certainly don’t- These ‘self-adjusting’ systems would have had to be designed in the first place with intelligence.

[[Not at all. “Fittest” is not the same as “perfect.”]]

He didn’t infere ‘perfect’ he simply infered ‘more fit- without hte certain vulnerabilites that made the weaker more vulnerable ot particular scenarios’
