Yeah, it's amazing, isn't it? We're past Huggy not understanding 5th grade science. We're now at the point where he doesn't understand words and their meanings.
The clause "so far" doesn't mean what Huggy thinks it means. It doesn't mean "Everything is hunky dory with these wolves, so move along." It means "These documented problems will inevitably become a problem for the population on the whole." It's an implication. It's why the recommendation is for external breeding stock to be introduced, the sooner, the better.
And, it's not like Huggy hasn't been confronted with this before. We've pointed out what minimum viability usually entails in terms of numbers of breeding pairs (hint: it's a hell of a lot more than what the bible claims was on the impossible Ark), and what will happen if it's not met. But, he's so consumed with proving us wrong that he's either unwilling or unable to learn and understand. He's more concerned with shoving his myths in our collective faces than actually understanding the world.
Huggy, like so many theists, is a reverse skeptic. He immediately buys into shit that cannot be proven, and is more than likely a bunch of bullshit (see: his assumption regarding Marilyn Hickey's missing uterus, Prophet Yaweh's UFO/angel summoning powers, the story of the Ark, etc.), but is skeptical of things directly observed/experimented/measured. It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad.
For huggy, any string of words which appear to him to support his belief contitute a valid and unanswerably sound argument. There is no need to identify any rule concerning validity or soundness. Soundness and validity is defined not by evidence or logic, but the conclusion. If what appears sound to him does not convince others, then adapting a stridently didactic tone appears to him to add to his powers of browbeating.
This is why while he may not be quite as despicable as drich, he is just as worthless as a counterpart for any meaningful discussion.
