It's not false at all. Origin of Species was published in 1859. The Selfish Gene was published in 1976. So even if everyone immediately accepted Dawkins' synthesis upon reading it (which they didn't), that sentence is still an accurate

I think you're partly right, but I also suspect they may have been downvoted to quell any "piling on". Repeated jokes on the same theme have diminishing returns.

No, it depends on the distance between the notes, which in the standard guitar tuning is a fourth (except between G3 and B4, as mentioned). You can take the lower note an octave up or the higher an octave down to make a fifth, but that chan
