In discussing Liebig's Law of the Minimum, Colinvaux (1973, p. 278) states:
The idea of critically limiting physical factors may serve only to obstruct a theoretical ecologist in his quest for a true understanding of nature... To say that animals live where dieir tolerances let them live has an uninteresting sound to it. It implies that animals have been designed by some arbitrary engineer according to some preconceived sets of tolerances, and that they then have to make do with whatever places on the face of the earth will provide enough of the required factors.
Evaluate this critique.
