I never said "any children", so your remark doesn't reflect a good understanding of what I wrote.

Try not being pedantic for pedantry's sake, and engage with a question asked in good faith without playing games of one-upmanship.

You said that living long enough to reproduce constituted Darwinian success. That idea is (1) extremely common, and (2) dead wrong.

It's extremely tiring to have to write informal comments while couching them in all kinds of caveats and clarifications to make them iron-clad and beyond reproach by even the most persistent of nitpickers. It makes pleasant conversation impossible.

And for what? Instead of focusing on the question I actually asked, you decided to correct me on something tangential for meaningless internet cred.

Congrats, you won 1000 megacredits.

Instead? The response to that question heads my comment.
