>If a human engineered it, we'd call it a leaky abstraction, but please don't get caught up on that. Evolution doesn't abstract.
Why not? Humans are products of evolution too, and they abstract.
I mean, what we consider conscious (e.g. human activity) and what we consider accidental (e.g. the result of evolutionary forces clashing) are not very well defined. Heck, we haven't even solved the determinism vs free will issue yet.
