No, it is meant to highlight that you make many claims without data. You are claiming that genomic prediction does not work across Angus lines. Where is the data?
The divergence between Angus lines is not strong enough to cause problems for genomic prediction. The Angus breed is basically a...
Just because you can imagine something, doesn't mean it is reality. See Deming quote.
Genomic prediction works well in breed-specific predictions.
We have data showing that genomic predictions can work in multiple-breed populations.
Scientific jargon warning:
Genomic predictions struggle...

The concept is correct, the term you are using is not. Natural selection, not genetic drift, is leading to herbicide resistance.
