    yeah but that’s not part of the original comment, not even by implication. the opposite is also not true so it doesn’t factor in at all. even though you’re not claiming it would be an improvement the original post clearly does and that’s what the top level comment is countering.

      Yes, but the top level comment is countering it using an incorrect application of the theory of evolution. If top-level-comment really meant “needs,” then it would not be a counter to the original post. If by “needs” they meant more colloquially “would be an improvement,” then it may counter the original comment, but it’s not actually a valid argument.
