That is how evolution comes. In certain conditions one species survives. Changing the conditions change the fitness so that another species (whether it is Honda or whatever) prevails. This actually one basic point in the fish pond metaphor: one desirable fish species survives, but changing a controlling parameter might allow undesirable fish species to flourish. It is not always finding the best: it is finding the fittest and willingness to experiment to know what not to do before knowing what to do. Hi,

How does one measure bestness(if that's a word)? Honda can say they make the best car in the world. However, they don't have to prove it because that's considered puffing.
