Every evolutionary trait is coincidence. If it was adaptation we'd be able to regrow vital organs.

[–] Umbrias@beehaw.org 6 points 1 week ago

that's not how that works, we cant regrow (most) vital organs (liver says hi) because of "engineering problems" not because evolution is random. we personify adaptations to understand them, it can lead to issues but yours is a massive overcorrection.
