Darwin was wrong (again) (about something he couldn't have known about) (again)!!1!

The real story, of course, is that Darwin was right. Since Darwin didn't know anything about how traits were passed down, evolution is not the RM+NS creationist shorthand meme. Variation and selection, yes, but variation has many sources. HGT means that even an asexually reproducing bacteria can have two parents.
We can now make the exciting prediction that Lenski's E. coli cultures aren't going to change in any exciting ways, but if you started with a dozen species of archaea, bacteria, and virus, the results would be very different.
