I'm certainly not saying this! It's appropriate to make distinctions
about the paths that the genes took to get where they are, if that will
affect their fitness. In this case, it does because IBD can be
correlated with the probability of being a recipient of an altruistic act.

Please, as you've clearly utterly mis-understood the arguments I
presented earlier, read through them _carefully_, with an open mind, and
ask about anything that you find unclear. It may be that I've not
expressed myself clearly enough, but in that case it would be helpful
all round to know wherer I've been unclear, so that I can clarify mya
rgument, so that you (and others) can understand my argument
