YIKES! Eric, please don't encourage anybody to read sarcasm into my message. Absolutely none was intended. The question I am toying with, is, does the model work without a "genefur" peletonizing? If you see me leaning toward some conclusion, it would only be that if such a gene is lurking

Hugh, Very interesting model! One of my doctoral adviser's, Jeffrey Schank has demonstrated repeatedly that scientists are very bad at predicting what 'chance' looks like when trying to do experiments involving synchrony. This seems one of those situations, and the only way around it is modeling.

Thanks for taking a peek at my post. Great questions, and they help me to see how/where my descriptions can be clarified. On the paradox part - that is one of the really interesting features of a peloton: the energy savings effect of drafting narrows the range of fitness between the strongest
