(remember "***THE*** definition of biological success"?).
So any alternative definition would be at best irrelevant, and at worst
subversive. So what possible interest could you have in it? >> >> Now you have gotten more weird trying to link 'responsibility' and

So you can address my next question: >> >> How much 'responsibility' does a blowfly have to its grandchildren? >> The blowfly's grandchild is the product of his grandparents' best efforts. No cigar.

give an answer which addresses the notion of responsibility, not best
efforts. >> >> How many biologists would be happy with a definition of 'biological

definition of 'biological success' to?
