I only stated all mutations are detrimental versus the wild type. Never .. ever .. are they beneficial. This is common knowledge. Define "weak". Mutants weaker than wild type? Of course.

Wild Type vs. Mutant - Wild Type ALWAYS wins.

Therfore it is most likely that if (big if) indeed the hog island hypo phenotype is a single gene mutation they would all be supers originating from the island (no wild types to contend with).
