True. And also true is that the inital goal of Ken, John's & my recent
simulation efforts was to do "virtual experiments" to gather data, specifically to
analyze the difference between our observed f/s rates & the popular (1/3rd)
published population rates.

ASD was intended to give ratio of time of a subpopulation with a parent
population, not absolute rates, or TMRCA.

Yes, we can incorporate allele length tendencies to mutate up/down, more
markers & their individual rates, and even, *intentional rare events*,
real-world input. :-)

Simulations, unless done intentionally, don't simulate rare
