Isn’t it amazing how “random forces” can make distinguishable frogs ‘indistinguishable’?


It's especially amazing that anyone could distinguish between indistinguishable frogs.

Yes, I recognize the (oddly singular) scare quotes, they just don't relate to any honest understanding that the frogs are quite distinguishable, especially on the genetic level (like you'd expect of convergent evolution).

PaV seems to think biology has a Pauli exclusion principle.  If one population of frogs becomes arboreal, populations of frogs elsewhere aren't allowed to do so.
