Actually, if you read the whole article,

Good idea, <g> but honestly it's a bit much for me to take in right now. Also, I know nothing about the specifics of it. However...

The paradox itself, however, is something of a rejection of the idea that the two functions could have evolved, even interdependently, because they each depend on the other to exist. At least that's how I took it.

If the functions evolved interdependantly, too me it means precisely that they depend on each other to evolve, that they co-arise. They didn't just jump out from nowhere fully formed, but my assumption is that this involved some sort of interdependant evolutionary process.

I think, too, he was somewhat acknowledging that reciprocal causality was the answer....it just wasn't there as an answer....yet. :)

The exact mechanisms may not be apparent at this stage, we might get there. If not we might just land up calling it random or chance or whatever word we lean on to explain the inexplicable <g>
