The point is not that the sequence doesn't exist in nature, just that it's not nearly so prevalent or central as gee-whiz science programs suggest. And in the real world it tends to be rather imperfect at best. The very fact that the most common example given is the nautilus which doesn't actual fit, should give you pause.
The point is I've been accursed of cherry picking, even though none of my sources have any vested interest in pushing the fibonacci sequence, if my source was a creationist website for an example, there would be a clear bias, so i'm looking for sources with no clear agenda.
