I'm still not entirely sure what you're asking - but...the contents of my cold-frame is the entire population of all life. There are no other populations. The purpose of this example is to show you that at the very core of it, the very principle, evolution does not require that a mutation be advantageous, it merely requires that the possessor of that mutation survive long enough to pass on it;s genetic material. The lesser plants in my example had no advantageous mutations whatsoever, any mutation that could even be remotely argued to be advantageous was possessed by the shaded group - which did not survive. This is why insisting that every step from A-Z be advantageous is nonsense. The possessors of these steps needn't out-compete their fellows, they need only survive.
I'm not sure if this answers your question.
