1) Not really arguing, just making an observation. Interestingly, it seems that the Darwinian notions of natural selection are applicable to non-biological systems as well. Any self-replicating system that allows for imperfect copying will evolve by Darwinian parameters over time.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
