gollark: Obviously, it's bad design and I would totally do better.
gollark: It's called Muller's ratchet.
gollark: The whole sex chromosome thing is vaguely weird because apparently, since there's no recombination, they are subject to inevitable slow genetic decay.
gollark: And lying is much easier than actually changing your height.
gollark: Well, for whatever reason, height is weirdly correlated with a bunch of general life outcomes (I forgot the exact details). Obviously there's the whole correlation/causation thing, but it's possible that, magically keeping all else equal, greater height causes those.
