Sounds like group selection theory to me. If you have a group of slaves and one slave has a gene that makes them unproductive, I doubt they’ll have better reproductive fitness than the others—you’d just dispose of the bad slave. It only works for all the slaves, if all the slaves have the same gene—so it only works if group selection works, and group selection doesn’t work.
