"The Black Swan Strategy"
But this really doesn't have anything to do with black swans... this technique isn't about a rare and unpredictable occurrence, but rather with a deviation from the norm.
"Community Natural Selection"
Again, this doesn't map to their findings -- the community was not selecting the preferential strategy, even though it was present in the community.
"Positive deviation" would have been a less sensational way to put it, but link-bait in and of itself isn't a bad thing, if the linked-to content delivers. Which I think is the case here.

Sure it is -- that's why people didn't notice it until they were encouraged to look at the behavior of the outliers -- those few examples whose children, though poor, weren't malnourished. > Again, this doesn't map to their findings -- the community was not selecting the preferential strategy, even though it was present in the community. Umm, that's how "natural selection" is defined -- the rare behavior that confers an advantage. All these people needed was encouragement to look for the advantageous adaptation that was already present in the population.
