gollark: I say this because you said> do you really want a second rate species succeeding?but it isn't a given that because something won at competition it's actually *better*.
gollark: It's the easiest example I could come up with. You could probably look at history or sports too.
gollark: That isn't really a goal. Virioids aren't going around thinking about their goals and how best to satisfy them. They just do things related to that due to the output of blind optimisation processes.
gollark: Things winning is often not determined by actual merit but unrelated factors and random chance. This happens a lot in computing, where a terrible standard comes first or is supported by big companies or something, and nobody can ever get everyone to switch.
gollark: I think it's just the sugar molecules on their own and presumably very concentrated.
