The argument from Claidière and Sperber (2007), which suggests a variable role of attraction and selection in determining the outcome of cultural evolution, seems intuitively more convincing.
The analysis of real-life historical or cross-cultural datasets is thus of primary importance for determining the relative role of attraction and selection in cultural evolution.
Moreover, moving from coarse to fine grained units can indeed clarify how the interplay between attraction and selection can be important for the success of specific cultural traditions, as the Dracula example illustrates.
While probabilistic attraction basically entails adding noise to the original model, it shows that, in this more realistic situation, the relative strength of attraction and selection are important for the outcomes, and both can contribute to cultural evolutionary dynamics.
Rather than deciding whether attraction or selection is in general more important, it is more interesting to ask the extent to which transmission is preservative or reconstructive in different domains, and how attraction and selection consequently interact to shape cultural variation.

In explaining the real-life preponderance of disgusting urban legends (see Heath et al. 2001), both cultural attraction and cultural selection can potentially be seen to be working together.
We will discuss how narrow attraction and preferential selection are better viewed as two extremes of a continuum (see also El Mouden et al. 2014) in which the relative importance of preservative and reconstructive processes is ultimately an empirical question, varying in different cultural domains, and depending on the granularity of the analysis.
