Which is more important in considering and discussing evolutionary trade-offs?

... one factor contributing to the absence of any compelling quantitative relationship is the divergence in the direction of the correlated fitness response measured at 40°C, as discussed in the previous section. Another factor is that the genetic variation among the lines is much lower for the direct fitness response at 20°C than for the correlated response measured at 40°C, making it more difficult to detect the underlying quantitative relationship, if any.

... . Trade-off by each derived line at 40°C was analyzed with a one-tailed t test on the six experimental replicate measurements of ΔW at 40°C, except as noted, when we explored, independently tested, and confirmed the finding that one lineage in fact showed a correlated improvement at this temperature.
