So what now? If we know that low vit D levels correlate with flu, but vit D intake doesn't help, then we should assume that it's not vit D but something else instead?

It's not circular, it's just true in the purest sense. As all mathematical theorems are either tautologies or consequences of assumptions, therefore pure assumptions. For me survival of the fittest just means that with high

It depends on how long-lasting are the goods. If you import a lot of gold but export less food, then you will get richer and richer over time. If you do the opposite, export gold and import food, then you'll get poorer and poorer, even
