[http://www.sekj.org/PDF/anzf40/anzf40-207.pdf This paper] claims the reason of extinction of the Irish Elk is unknown and not a crystal clear example of FR, hence I previously reworded this to "hypothesized". On the other hand I do not really care because the entire page should be more about the meme factor than absolute accuracy.

Why should it, because you want it to be? The meme factor is based on a combination of truth, blatant lies, and hindsight is 20/20 bias, as explained above under the eggman's pic section. | Why should it, because you want it to be?

: The meme factor is tongue in cheek humor and catastrophizing. Does anyone honestly believe we're going to go extinct because of oversized mandibles? I concede that this paper seems to be about different kind of sexual selection (primarily sexual conflict), but i was mislead as it cites some stuff on Runaway selection and evo suicide. Not sure what you mean by hindsight bias. [[User:Bibipi|Bibipi]] ([[User talk:Bibipi|talk]]) 23:23, 23 November 2019 (UTC) | |||
