If it's the rough summary and truthful, it follows most mutations from that move something from point A to B in function when there is significant amount of mutations have to be advantageous according to the theory.
It can't be only small percentage of the steps between A and B are advantageous.
Or otherwise, evolution as they teach the public, is deceitful to say the least.
