Which goes to show that he doesn't understand his own simulation. Mendel's Accounant doesn't model "internal complexity". It purports to abstract selective differences.
A specific limit to beneficial mutations may not make sense. Some mutations may sweep over a population rapidly. It is certainly conceivable that a seemingly minor mutation could dramatically increase reproductive success, perhaps many-fold, such as when there is only one male that reproduces.
