* the definition of an "invasive" as opposed to a "naturalized"
species is that they'll move into more or less "undisturbed" habitats.
It's likely no fault of the Frog Pond that the Caboma got dumped
there, and I suggest the immediate organization of whatever control
actions are appropriate to suppress this colonization. Invasive
species groups and agencies whoop "rapid detection/rapid response" as
their goal - but this rarely happens except in the case of pests of
agriculture or forest trees.

"[The] two fundamental steps of scientific thought - the conjecture
and refutation of Popper - have little place in the usual conception
of intelligence. If something is to be dismissed as inadequate, it is
surely not Darwin [, whose] works manifest the activity of a mind
seeking for wisdom, a value which conventional philosophy has largely
abandoned." Ghiselen, 1969. Triumph of the Darwinian Method, p 237.
