If your point wasn't related to "surviving in the harsh environment" then why did you bring it up?

Why? Do you get upset with the number points elephants have in ST? Why is any racial point total more believable than any other?

If city accountants are worth more points than ghetto thugs, how the heck are are the thugs able to win fight against them? It's not just the point totals, it's how those point are spent. Half giants aren't going to dominate the world no matter how strong they are, because they are stupid. Thri-Kreen are the best at their niche (survival), but that doesn't translate to being the best able to rule the world.
