JE:-
Yes I meant "Y". My apologies.
Hamilton's logic fails to factor
in an entire sex chromosome...

Selfish gene recognition using 
sexual selection fails because
the lineal gain to the selfish
gene is less than the exponential
cost due to epistasis:

	r^eb>c

Hamilton's modelling logic deleted all 
genetic epistasis and just stipulated 
random mating just to allow a
heuristic independent gene level
of selection! Not a single observation
of nature has produced even a verification
of an independent gene level of selection,
let alone a refutation of it (which remains
impossible because the rule is just 100%
relative). The fact these points have been
ignored for over 50 years proves the present
system of peer review to be corrupt,
incompetent or both.
