This is irrelevant, becuase nobody has argued that transposons don't drive a lot of evolutionary change. What we have been arguing is whether they are a useful way of analyzing evolution Hmmm, one might think that a good way to analyze evolution would be to analyze things that drive evolutionary change (as you now say you aren't arguing).

We know that change occurs. You don't even need to know the underlying cause of change in order to describe it and quantify it.
Evolution is about those changes that affect reproductive success.
