The importance of the simulation is to show that complex patterns can grow from simple inputs, which was demonstrated by the results of this simulation.  Although Lenski free disclaims the use of true biology in the simulation, his result is nevertheless quite important.  The validity is not contigent, as is claimed above, upon the specific biological system.
