Accidents and mistakes

Progress by "accident " does not imply that you end up with a "mistake. " Sure, a new mutation may arise by accident. But natural selection selects the beneficial mutations from the mistakes. Thus, if you start with enough accidents and allow natural selection time to work, beneficial solutions will emerge. The “mistakes” will be left scattered along the side of the evolutionary road.
