It was just an example. The virus may change back to AA. It doesn't really mean anything.

I would be able to find one because I don't know jack shit about this stuff. I just wonder how they determine what causes mutations.
A mutation is just a mistake. Pretend that you have to rewrite an entire book word of word without being able to correct your mistakes. You will most likely have a type-o here and there and that would be a mutation in biology sense. When the DNA is being copied, there will be miscopy and that will be a mutation.

It was a simplified example on how natural selection works.

There is not ONE recognized biologist that uses the term macro or micro evolution.
Evolution is evolution.
What is the catch with that? I took a Biology course this year and both my professors used micro and macro evolution. When you understand what evolution is then the both micro and macro are not needed but you have to include them when you are explaining how evolution works.
