First, one has to define "fit". In fact, it is a well-known fact that Darwin's opinions had a deep affect on the Nazi's in the mid-century by trying to define which human race is fitter than another. And we all know what that led to.
It is also untrue that people considered "less fit" than others can't have more children than those who are considered "fit". We still have deformed babies, even from couples considered "fit." In fact, one of Einsteins children was considered mentally retarded.
So no, "fit" parents (whatever that means) DO NOT NECESSARILY BREED FIT OFFPSRING. Their offspring are just as capable of being born with defects and subject to disease and early death as anyone else's are.
So even though your response was considerate and respectful, it's still incorrect.
Wow, another adherent to "
How to win any argument" school of rhetoric. Straight for the last rule
Compare your opponent to Adolf Hitler.
This is your heavy artillery, for when your opponent is obviously right and you are spectacularly wrong. Bring Hitler up subtly. Say: "That sounds suspiciously like something Adolf Hitler might say" or "You certainly do remind me of Adolf Hitler."
As far as Einstein's children, Albert himself was believed retarded for a long time due to his very late start in verbal communication. What does that prove? What is the relevance to the topic other than the latest of strawmen?
