We also introduce a likelihood sensitivity analysis, and show that the single-origin hypothesis is not significantly favored unless we assume a highly asymmetric model of evolution (one favoring eye loss more than 30:1 over gain).

OK. I don't like "multiple loss" in something that would obviously be very valuable. I can see why they made the call the way they did.

The text discusses a co-option of developmental genes by independent lines of photoreceptors to explain metazoan eyes.
