“Latching is equivalent to preventing deleterious mutations. Therefore a realistic simulation should not latch, but should instead allow deleterious mutations to be filtered out by the fitness function.”
Absolute nonsense. You have it backwards. Deleterious mutations are eliminated from the offspring in normal evolution not allowed to prevail. Natural selection would select the progeny with the functional traits and eliminate those when the traits were not conserved. A functional state is treated as equivalent to a non functional state by Dawkins’ Weasel program which is very bad evolutionary theory by the high genius of evolution. Latching is a more realistic outcome.
This whole discussion is as I said folly because the example is very bad evolution and very bad pedagogy. But people follow this idiot Dawkins like he is a prophet. Dawkins would make a good used car sales man because he has sold a bunch of junk to people in the last 30 years. And they smile when they buy it.
“To latch or not to latch, that is the folly.”

All this time and jerry shows not the slightest understanding of what Weasel is about. |
We have a winner!

JoeG BTW dumbass- some variations help ensure reproductive fitness so they cannot be random wrt it.
