Although this trait enhances the diversity of grain quality, sugary endosperm rice has hardly been commercialized due to the severely wrinkled grains and subsequent problems in milling.

When a classical evolutionary biologist looked for the purpose of a trait, his/her question was how does this trait enhance an individual's fitness.
But, as discussed above, how can we know that any particular trait enhances survival of an organism or population unless we conduct tests that distinguish particular traits from others?
Rosenberg and Bouchard (2008) introduce the many difficulties facing the concept of "fitness" in their Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry on "fitness": But what is fitness and how can one tell when a trait enhances fitness, or more to the point, when one organism is fitter than another?
