Do you have a reference for the lack of an evolutionary reason?

I can understand skepticism, because to do a relevant study is hard.

But flat-out rejection of the idea? That seems like it needs awfully strong backing, especially since even quite small fitness advantages (~2%) are typically fixed in a population.
