Diamond''s (1975) idea that island species distributions are determined predominantly by competition as canonized by his assembly rules was discussed. Every assembly rule is either tautological, trivial, or a pattern expected if species were distributed at random. To demonstrate that competition is responsible for the joint distributions of species, one would have to falsify a null hypothesis stating that the distributions are generated by the species randomly and individually colonizing an archipelago.
