Nobel laureate Albert Szent-Gyorgi writes the following about a relationship much simpler than cleaning symbiosis. He is talking only about a young herring gull pecking at a red spot on its parent's beak to elicit a food regurgitation response: All this may sound very simple, but it involves a horribly complex underlying nervous mechanism.... All this had to be developed simultaneously [like the cleaner entering the big fish's mouth at the same time the big fish suspends his normal habit of eating small fish], which as a mutation has the probability of zero. I am unable to approach this problem without supposing an innate drive in matter to perfect itself.2 2. Kolata, Gina, Genes in Pieces. Science, V. 207. No. 4429, 1980, pp. 392-393. (Note also the emphasized quotation on P. 393: A number of molecular biologists believe there is more to the extra DNA than the evolutionary theories imply.)
genetic decay, any hypothetical favorable mutant in one gene would invariably be coupled to harmful changes in other genes. As mutational load increases with time, the survival of the species will be threatened as matings produce a greater percentage of offspring carrying serious genetic defects.1,3 1. Ayala.

Mutations are pathologic (disease-causing) and only modify what pre-exists, as French zoologist Pierre-Paul Grassé says, so mutations have no final evolutionary effect.4 4.
