If one in 100,000,000 is a chimera,

IF

1) LAST TIME I CHECKED (a year or two ago), NO ONE KNOWS THE INCIDENCE.

THEY ASSUME IT'S RARE.

2) BUT EVEN IF they PROVED it rare in the GENERAL population of humans--

That would not be good enough.

They would need to prove that being a human chimera does not make one more prone to CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR (a reasonble suspicion, given how a chimera's DNA is all mess up)--

And that would make the frequency of chimerism among prisoners higher.

Uh, dude, given how rarely it has been seen, one can draw a logical conclusion that it is, in fact, rare.

But, given your next leap, I can see that logical conclusions ain't your strong suit:

Ah, so you first go against the preponderance of the evidence to challenge a scientific assumption, and then pull something out of a dark nether region to create your own standard.

Later, gator. I prefer to debate with those who can maintain a coherent position.
