> I applied this principle and married someone with a great sense of smell

May you and your smelling nose wife live happily ever after.

I'm sure the fly production methodology has improved over the years, but based on what TFA describes, I'm not sure lacking smell would save you from disgust. I think even a Buddhist would be hard-pressed to find compassion for this particular fly species.
