I believe that I agree with you on this subject. But, just so you know, one of the convenient definititons of "evolution" is the "shifting allele frequencies of genes" within a population.
A tax-break for blondes in Rhode Island might induce more blondes to move to RI. That would -- you see -- be evolution in action.
The experiment in the thread seems to me to be quite pointless (no species creation) but by the word game definition, it would be considered "evolution".

I firmly believe that kind of evolution exists. Heck, it'd demonstrable. It is the REAL evolution claims that I have a really hard time with.
I am amazed how many times it is this sort of natural selection (the blondes or the bears) that are offered as proof of evolution by some of the college freshmen.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Evolution is the rust happening to the 57 chevy rotting away in a field. But rust is not what made the car in the first place.
