but the mistake I seem to see you making is imagining the "RULES" stand alone.
that's bullshit.
cope's rule, bergmann's rule, they're not actually rules
what is the mechanism? What makes those "rules" work?
Gould talks about this and so does dawkins
the mechanism is sexual selection and resource availability. The rules aren't magic. They aren't right or wrong. They operate on sexual selection and resources.
