Is it your understanding that Dawkins and Wilson (or any other reputable scientist) disagree about the information content of genes? If so, can you provide a source for that?

1. yes 2. this article quote: "That’s differential group survival. But you’d never say of any part of a squirrel that it evolved to promote the welfare of the grey squirrel over the red. Wilson wouldn’t say anything so silly about squirrel"

Are you claiming that Wilson would in fact say something like that about squirrels? If so, why? If not, then what scientist agrees with you if neither Dawkins nor his rival Wilson?

More to the point, that quote doesn't refer to the information content of genes at all. You'll certainly agree that it doesn't do so explicitly. Can you find a quote that explicitly says that someone disagrees with Dawkins about the information content of genes? Maybe in the Wikipedia articles for gene selection and kin selection?

no i don't have explicit quote. but this is what it boils down to. What else could it mean?

No, it doesn't boil down to that. They agree on what information can be encoded genetically. They disagree on a detail of the mechanism of evolution: To what extent does selection occur at various "levels" (gene, individual, kin-group, species, etc)?
