this is wild because the article starts off with explaining how "why" is a bad question, and then doubles down on this entire thesis explaining why a bee dies when it stings you, a human, and the evolutionary nature supporting it
except, its entirely wrong and the foreshadowing about "why" was super important: bees don't 'expect' to die when they sting you. they can sting many creatures and not get their abdomen ripped out because the barb doesn't get stuck in the thing they stung. just like wasps.
so this 20 page dissertation is completely baseless.
