If Darwin Is Correct With His Theory Of Evolution Then It Would Seem That A Martial Art Would Likely Evolve Along Those Same Lines Of Trial And Error. Therefore Mimicry Could Lead One Into Copying Old And Outdated Training Methods. This In Turn Would Result In Non-success When Endeavoring To Champion Ones-self
Against A Well Trained Adversary.
The Incorporation Of Culturally Inappropriate Mores And Customs Could Ingrain And Reinforce This Non-success By Limiting
The Societal Reinforcement To The Sub-group Thereby Perverting
And Stagnating The Natural Progression ,as It Were, Of Pavlovian
Rewards, I.E. The Domination Of Ones Opponent.
