Huh, that's really interesting. But I suppose it doesn't apply to the amber alert thing. In that situation, evolution probably was an intelligent reasoning system that existed for a purpose and we must be subverting it (a bad idea). There's always an exception to every rule, I suppose.

Evolution is never an intelligent reasoning system, any more than gravity ever is.
Never? Not even the OP's «there's probably a reason evolution didn't put the immune system on permanent "amber alert" as they call it in the article»? Oh, that's surprising. Well, TIL.
Some groups of people have evolved to believe that, anyway.
