Well, was not the conclusion an assumption based on faulty expectations?

No. Evolutionary biology says genes under strong selection will not vary widely in sequence. This has been repeatedly confirmed. These genes are under neutral selection, which is why the sequence varies so. This is the conclusion reached, you tried to make it look like they were completely stumped and befuddled by terminating the quotation early.

I'm not sure why then, their expectation was contrary to the results, but I'll defer to your expertise in these matters...

I did nothing of the sort. I was merely making an inquiry. After all, that is the nature of this particular forum, is it not? If you prefer to read something into it that's not there, then so be it, who am I to stop you....
