This is a good example of social evolution, isn't it? Feckless
Zoyd, et.al., "weeded" out by the countervailing forces that be,
then more adapted members or species moving into the niche.

It's analogous to what happens when you mess with the
"normal flora" in an effort to increase your power and control-
breeding super bugs. What goes around, comes around.
