No.
I'm saying you jumped from proximate cause to distal cause.
When the above commenter brought up scientists "who do science for the sake of science, not to impress anyone", you were like "oh i didn't mean they were doing it because they themselves were trying to get laid - i only said exactly that, but i didn't mean it."
I get thats what you think I said, but it’s not what I said.
Oh i think i get it now. You're saying the celibate scientists are indeed still just trying to get laid.
So in that case you didn't move the goal posts.
