• Moving Beyond Causes: Optimality Models and Scientific Explanation (2015, background): “…interpretation of drift is as the statistical error term (Walsh, 2010) and many have defended a statistical interpretation of fitness that entails that selection and drift cannot be pulled apart as two separate causal processes (Matthen and Ariew 2002, 2009; Walsh et al. 2002; Walsh 2007, 2010).”
