You are straying from the original question, which is whether mutations can modify the output in non-lethal ways.

And you are apparently not reading what I write. I stated most mutations are not lethal. I also stated on this thread that I do not believe mutations are random(since I believe that RMNS is inadequate). IOW, mutations are allowed to stand and in fact are caused "intentionally" by the computing cell. You should know by now that I believe along the lines of Dr Shapiro.

So the cells of a wolf intentionally compute the alleles needed to produce teacup poodles?
