it'd be nice if we had compact, intuitive language for talking about the fitness advantages and the stresses that are their mirror image that caused an evolved feature to be selected for without resorting to speaking of an evolved feature's "design goals" or "purpose"

U familiar w/ Darwin’s later work - in which he discounted fitness as the prime selector, instead focused on, well, basically sexiness? Remember Darwin didn’t have a modern concept of gene expression - he realized the obvs that animals fuck what turns ‘em on, not the ‘fittest’.
