You're right. In fact, most write-ups on Darwinism (and evolution in general) incorporate too much intentionality in their tone when there might be none.

- 9dev 4y agoHave you ever tried writing about this topic? It’s surprisingly hard to keep intentionality out if you’re trying to give meaningful explanations.
- ggm 4y agoI think about this a bit. I had the temerity to try and write to Dawkins about this some time ago. I think I got a sense of "yes, given the chance, I think use of more statistical language would have been beneficial, but none of us realized how strongly the intentionality would be misunderstood" in reply, but I can't find the emails so I suspect I may have mis-remembered. Really I'd like to ask it face to face. For the experience.
