This isn't an attack on humans. It's only to be expected that given all the other stat maxing we've done we need a dump stat somewhere, to borrow gaming terminology. Our list of attributes that is either simply the best, or very competitive, is quite absurdly long.

Which is not a fitness attribute that anyone serious disregards… any human that is, to be fair. [1] But you have the “literal strenght” narrow fallback though.
