There are plenty of sobering examples of failed or faltering mobile platforms to illustrate how ecosystems really need developers to survive, and developers go where the volumes are.
In Sober's example, there are transition chances from earlier costs of bread to later costs of bread, and there are transition chances from earlier water levels to later water levels.
For example, Sober points out that Gould's "Panda Principle" assumes "that an intelligent designer would have wanted to supply pandas with a super-efficient device… for preparing bamboo and would have had the ability to achieve this objective.
Monists (for example, Sober 1984, Ghiselin 1987, Hull 1987, de Queiroz 1999, Mayden 2002, Brigandt 2003, Pigliucci 2003, and Wilkins 2003) have launched a number of objections to species pluralism.
There is ongoing debate in the philosophy of science concerning the merits of model selection in explications of the notion of simplicity, informativeness, and the like (see, for example, Sober 2004, Romeijn and van de Schoot 2008, Romeijn et al 2012, Sprenger 2013).
This is similar to Sober's counter-example of where a light spot 'transmits' the characteristic of occurring after a glass filter is bolted in place.

Nonetheless, such a 'conventionalist' view of logical truth (and along with it, analytic truth) has been argued against by, for example, Quine, Sober, Yablo and Boghossian, and it no longer enjoys the popularity that it had in Carnap's time (Quine 1936; Yablo 1992; Boghossian 1996; Sober 2000).
This is one example of sober minded self-restraint/selflessness sending you to the top of the social ladder.
Sometimes, when he's showing us a pas de deux — for example, that sobering duet in "Concerto DSCH" — he will have some of those young folk sitting on the floor at the side of the stage, watching.
