For an individual of a species to be strong, it must be closer to genetic perfection, in other words there is less variation in it's genetic code than in the weak members.
That doesn't make sense. The MORE variation there is within a species, the more likely some individuals are to survive under different conditions. And the more likely that subsequent generations will be different.
