Maybe. But then Dennett just didn't think about it or do the math when he quoted it--kind of disheartening. Not to mention they both use it to discuss various adaptionist reasons why humans may have evolved this way and it kind of renders their subsequent points about it moot. Read the last paragraph in the e-book link I provided and 1st or 2nd on the next page. You'll see what I mean.
