No, this is a flaw in Darwin Evolution theory. Your above is another
example of "postdiction" of Darwin Evolution. This particular flaw is that
of "generalist" versus "specialist" and that when a plant or animal becomes
too specialist faces the quick road to extinction. If you look at the record
of species gone extinct it is replete with specialists, seldom any
generalist.

The keyword here is "too specialist".
Species can go extinct when they become "too generalist" also

[...] So no plant or animal would make a choice of going to be specialized
from that of generalized.

Lots of them do, for very good reasons. Specialists outcompete generalists,
as long as their specialty applies. This leads to increased chances of
survival.

May I interject environment into the above. It is the environment itself that
is forcing and shaping plant and animal species to go down a path of becoming
too specialist or too generalist. But then Darwin Evolution does not count the
"factor of environment". So Darwin Evolution is flawed on that account.





So, Darwin Evolution is again a flawed theory which works okay in
large part but is flawed and frayed at all margins. It is an algorithm, a
rule of thumb.

As algorithms are something entirely different from rules of thumb, you may
want to choose which you mean?

Well Ohms law is not a law of physics. It is a algorithm or rule of thumb. A
slide-ruler ( remember those old cumbersome instruments of the 1970s) is an
algorithm for finding a math answer but seldom gives you the precise and
accurate answer that a math computation gives.


The true theory

+ + +
This is a contradiction in terms. Something either is true (seen from a
religious perspective) or a theory (a scientific law). A "true theory" is a
falsehood.
+ + +

that replaces Darwin Evolution is what John Bell, the physicist called
Superdeterminism. For you cannot have a world where both Darwin Evolution
and Superdeterminism co-exist.

+ + +
Allright, as I cannot have it, maybe you should have it?

Let us not be focused on semantics of words, theory, true, false when we need
to focus on Darwin Evolution.
