I presume you have realized that if we just leave the bugs alone, then
each generation the unwanted characteristics will drop by 3/4's, and
then quickly disappear.
I have the following questions:
1) How do you propose to convince bacteria and viruses to reproduce
sexually?
2) If "p" be the probability of a beneficial mutation where should I
place my "q"?
