Unfortunately if this were true, the dork gene would have been bred out
of the human race long ago (natural selection) as it is not an advantage
to be a dork progeny with the higher risk of not passing on your dorky genes,
compared to the non-dorks. This assumption must hold some water because
as you say, dorks still put kids on quad bikes. Also take them out in fast
boats without lifejackets on, let them stand up in the front seat of a
car, sit them on the petrol tank of a motorcycle, hold them under one arm
while feeding a crocodile with the other, dangle them over the balcony of
a high-rise, ad nauseum. If dorks didn't survive to breed, then Darwins
theory would apply, but as you know, not only do they survive, they
thrive, get a law degree, and go into politics.
