That's very true, and I think that sooner or later it will all add up to a very powerful disruptive weenie deck. However, it only takes one printing to help the other engines overcome huge swaths of Fish creep. Take Inkwell Leviathan for instance. I really believe that a Fishy answer to Tez decks would have been found had it not been for this card. The combo or Shroud/Trampe/Islandwalk/11 Toughness makes the creature the perfect foil to Fish and undoes many of the gains that archetype has made since Time Spiral. Every set Fish will pick up something, but it only takes one card to mitigate a good portion of what they gain. Would you agree?

I don't think that a creature that is used as a secondary win condition is what is holding fish back right now. There are cards like Curfew and Hurkyls Recall/Rebuild out there that could be used if that really was the case. Not to mention black removal that forces a sacrifice.
I do agree, however, that any advancement for any other deck puts said deck way ahead of fish, because it's likely not a creature that makes a leap in evolution possible.
