I would reply to the Discovery Institute were it really interested in open
debate and facts rather than a priori convictions that (as I have pointed
out elsewhere) Nabokov's assumption that mimicry exceeds predators' powers
of deception* has been falsified.

Brian Boyd

Could you please tell us more about this falsification, or give us links or
references on the subject?
Many thanks,
Laurence Hochard
(*I suppose you mean "powers of appreciation"?)

[EDNote: I can add that some of this information is information in Kurt Johnson and Steve Coates's Nabokov's Blues, but I can't give a specific reference right now. SB]
