Register or Login to view.At most, it suggests that if copy/mutate is a viable explanation, there may be additional constraints operating on the mutation process that still need to be identified.There should be an incentive to adhere to rules (proposed rules include CLS (and variants), word grammars (many flavors), slot sequences (MZ or a variant) but not strictly.
If you're saying that any viable explanation should eventually account for observed constraints such as CLS, slot patterns, grammars, or similar phenomena, I have no disagreement with that. If you're saying that a model or theory must explain those observations before evidence can even be considered, then I disagree.
