    Already shown wrong or unsupported. Gene duplication like any other mutation
    indeed relies on chance but not pure chance. Please explain why scaffolding
    has never been observed? I'd say that this is a very likely mechanism of
    evolution. Please show that it assumes plasticity? Please show why gene
    duplication produces gene silencing.

    Time to provide some backup for them assertions
