I know - I making a point about the tendency of some small cell
adherants towards Lamarckianism.  While it is often denied in small cell
discussions, many of the explainations of the genetic changes that are
preceived by many SC proponants are Lamarckian.  Sometimes folks are
describing the idea (new characteristics are acquired through
interaction with the environment and are passed on to progeny) and are
not even aware of the fact.
