My question, broadly speaking, is if you agree with this definition? Behavior is not as quantifiable as other traits, such as color. Neither is cognition as observable as height, for example. I haven't been able to read Dawkins' book The Extended Phenotype, but it seems to be arguing in favor of including behavior and all its repercussions on the world as extensions of what would otherwise be limited by the term phenotype.
You are seriously trying to find gods in the gaps? What's next, TAG?
