I point out why certain functional systems will be nearly if not completely invisible to natural selection.

You didn't even get your own argument right.

Backup systems help ensure the survivability of the airplance and its occupants. Without the backup system you would have been personally de-selected. What your argument showed was that knock-out experiments may not accurately test expendability of genes or other biological structures. Your example actually showed that backup systems are visible to Natural Selection.

I think the key point that Salvador was trying to make was in this line:  "I was piloting a small airplane in the spring of 2002."

It's a man's life in ID.
