I think this is a denial of what "invasive species" are, and even evolution itself. An invasive species is something that thrives in many environments and outcompetes natives. Since humans have become concerned about such things, loopholes in human thinking, behavior and social institutions are necessarily part of the fitness function that makes something invasive.
