You're referencing literature obliquely, but that's not enough for me to look it up. It'd be helpful to future readers (some of whom will be 10 or 15 years in the future) if you could track down those references, cite them, and explain what information is in those references, and what is your own anecdotal evidence.
The only anecdotal evidence is in the first para. The second para is an obvious evolutionary argument, which I came up with myself rather than my hearing it from somewhere else (but it follows the same simple pattern as many evolutionary arguments I have heard). The rest is my recollection of what I learned listening to Longo's being interviewed and maybe also what I learned from a few quick uses of a search engine.
I decline your suggestion for me to look stuff up so that I can post the results here. I might have made the effort if my previous 2 comments had been upvoted significantly (which is the main way for me to tell whether readers value them) but both are sitting at a score of 1.
