*A* (Post 32)A specie becoming less adapted to it's environment (and not because the environment itself is changing faster than it can keep up).
*B* (post 124)There is no such thing.
But science is not done by popular vote, so there seems to be a problem here. How do we decide which is right?

Picky, picky. Nice try, but not a very good one. 'Reverse' is the important word here. Reverse implies a direction with, *usually*, a negative connotation. If I reverse (or change) the direction my car is traveling in car to avoid an accident, however, it's not so negative.
A species becoming less adapted to it's environment is not a 'reversal', obviously. In fact, wonder of wonders, that's sometimes what drives a species to evolve into another species, or become extinct. And whether or not the former is and advance and the latter a reversal is a subjective human abstract construct.
Both. I described something that doesn't happen, so there is, in fact, no such thing.

It all depends on which "cracked skull"
they are looking at, at the time.
Why... by following the edict that E Central puts out, silly!
