Signal vs. Noise, Part 2: Hunter Opens the Klassen Study Again

Hello Dr. Hunter,

In this discussion of sequential DNA data and Klassen’s 49 data sets, you just claimed the following:

And then you cited two sources. I followed both links to see what models of DNA sequential data they might present. Could this be, at long last?

Sadly, no.

One “model” was Lamarckian, which made no predictions about DNA sequences because DNA was not discovered until many decades later.

The other “model” was Ewert’s dependency graph model. In the paper, Ewert excludes DNA sequence data from his analysis. Moreover, in a thread on @Swamidass 's Peaceful Science site, Ewert acknowledged that the DG hypothesis makes no predictions about DNA sequence data, and may not be able to do so for a very long time, if ever.

You cited two sources as presenting alternative models for predicting DNA sequence data, but they do not do so in the least. I’m scratching my head. :thinking:

Grace and peace,
Chris Falter
