In order for this to be a valid criticism it must first be established that the effects of deliberate selection for certain traits by humans and selection by any other environmental pressures are different.

Odd, I would have thought that you would first have to prove the above concept before I would attempt to disprove it.

Perhaps it's just that I'm less willing to take evolutionary evidence on faith.

You made the claim, it's up to you to support it. That the domestication experiment worked at all is positive evidence that selection pressure causes measurable change in a population. The only thing you have presented so far is your own assertion that it is true.
