    Hi Philip Jonkers -

    What I meant was, it maintains useless entities, like appendixes. What we
    are is a build upon what came before, since it is a process.

    A good designer removes unnecessary things- starting from the design
    specs, not the present model.

    But that's not proving anything. Yes, we're doing great in these present
    conditions, and we can do great in a handy lot of conditions, but, we're
    just as vulnerable as anything else, and a deal more vulnerable to
    environmental change than, say, ants. Mammals were a thin sort of niche,
    anyway, once upon a time.
