because since homo erectus, the human brain has grown in capacity, and we now have the ability to do things for motivation other than simply surviving. Again, arguing for the sake of arguing bores the sh*t out of me, I got into thi argument because something ZZZ said grated against something I felt strongly against. Arguing semantics just for ****s and giggles is not something I enjoy doing, so I'll let this one die. You can say you won if you like.
