Re: "you're off on a bender with that one..." How so????????? The Statistical Fallacy that you deployed is well-known.... And, I think that the modest little bit that I added is appropriate --- saying that simply because you can find ancestors who were Kings/Princes/Slaves/Commoners for most everyone means that it's way, way silly to try to GENERALIZE about millions and millions of people living in the present because of who they might be descended from multiple generations back. Way, way silly to generalize like that. EVERYONE has both Slaves and Princes in their backline... if you just go back far enough. Everyone.
