Can't find it again. Does this ring a bell with
anyone?  Probably not enough to go on...

 Second attempt to post:
 https://www.forbes.com/sites/andreamorris/2024/06/14/evolution-may-be-purposeful-and-its-freaking-scientists-out/  Something on "purposeful" evolution.  His example of the adaptive immune system essentially means that "purpose" is just the random development of something that works to do something that can be selected for.  The random mutations are not directed, but they just produce something that can be identified as working better to bind to an antigen.  Nearly all of the millions of attempts are failures.
 For evolution to work every change has to work within what already exists.  If a new function is created, that new function has to work within what already exists.  That is not purposeful, it is just reality.

Thanks for checking. The Forbes article isn't it
but is interesting.
One other thing I recall is that the banner
on that page had green on it. (if that doesn't
pin it down nothing will!)
Oh well. Came across it by chance, might rediscover
it by chance.
