Right: in neo-Darwinism, variation merely supplies raw materials and has no dispositional role
Wrong: this is not based on assuming isotropic variation
Instead, Darwin and his followers argue explicitly that selection governs evo, so that the details of variation don't matter
They argued this in many ways
That's the real problem. Today we know today that biases in the introduction of variation can be dispositional causes in evo. This is well established theoretically and empirically
