Yes, I completely agree with you! You will have much less variability.
However, that's not what the paper argues. The paper argues that you would have more variability.
I'd appreciate you taking a look at the original paper (specifically, the bottom of page 2 [edit: and Figure 1]) and understanding my original argument.
- zeth___ 8y agoRight, and now compare it to the original bag. You have increased variability between generations by reducing the variability in the second generation.
- brenschluss 8y agoI agree with you that there is a difference in variability between generations. I agree with you that the variability has been reduced in the second generation. It seems that we both disagree with the original paper, then, as it states "If sex A is relatively selective and will mate only with the top most desirable quarter of sex B, then all of the next generation will be offspring of the more variable subpopulation B1"
