And thus, there's no absolutely no scientific problem with the idea that an intelligent designer might be the mechanism of variation, right?

That would be no problem for evolution. As I've said before, if you just systematically went through each individual in a population, changing one base at a time, evolution would still occur. However, there's no scientific way we can study the proposition that some Kosmic Kritter is playing games with our genomes.

But of course you disagree with that -- it turns out that the mechanism turns out to be quite relevant, precisely at the point of interest in this article. For an economy, the mechanism of variation is intelligent decisions, the very thing that you say cannot be part of a scientific theory of evolution.

You mean, intelligent ideas like online pet-food sales?

One half of all small businesses close in their first four years.
