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.

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.The clause "so far" means there is no SCIENTIFIC DATA to support your claim that 2 wolves cannot produce a thriving population, what you are spewing is unsupported drivel. Since you love to jerk to the idea that science is self correcting, how about you wait until there's actual evidence before you claiming the inevitability of something.
What boggles my mind is that you believe that life somehow evolved from non life and that life has been evolving and adapting for millions of years yet somehow a viable population cannot be produced with only 2 wolves.
Not to mention only the Alpha male and female really only mate, so introducing an "external breeding stock" is no guarantee of anything.

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.*emphasis mine*
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.
As I've pointed out there are many other factors used in determining the minimum viable population.
