I was just listening to eons in my car and specifically the episode about armored fish, and the thought occurred to me: isn't evolution ultimately selecting for adaptability?

It would seem the design that can survive the most extinctions would be the clear winner in the end.

Ultimately, it's selecting for crabs. Crabs are perfection. There is no escaping carcinization.
There's a great episode in Eons about convergent evolution and crabs specifically.
I always thought it seemed like mother nature was feeling a little crabby.
