Very well, then. Feel free to alter my original statement to read: "...genetic drift under natural selection pressures." I had assumed that I could leave the caveat unspoken, but I forgot in that moment that I'm debating with an obscurantist.

Not so fast. The theory of neutral drift, which is what you were arguing in your post is false. Adding natural selection to it does not help evolution because evolution does not create anything, it does not create new genetic information, new genes, new anything. Natural selection only destroys so adding -2 to 0 does not give you 4. What it does give you is a theory which is total nonsense - evolution.
