Wheeler worked with Woolsey and I believe they did seminal research on

small percentage of frequencies with efficient operation in the low
teens to single digits on a length basis per unit charge.

You bring up the Skinner box. Are you not omitting the work of
Bedevere? Intercontinental speciation (viz African vs European) could
have an effect that should be considered.
