I've slept on it, gotten rid of my headache, and decided that it's easier for me to just reject Popper than it is for me to craft a thoughtful response. I'm stuck in little language loops of what falsifiability means. Perhaps I need coffee, or just to be smarter.
The "Just So" story critique of adaptionism, especially when it comes to sociobiology, was one of Gould's favorites, and is certainly on the mark with much of the hyperadaptionism out there.
