Irrational?
Why?
Are 'populations' NOT composed of individuals?
If my township census indicates that ALL persons living in it in are WASP's in 1980 and in 2000 .1% are Samoan, you could say the population has changed.
If you THEN claim that that individuals making up the population are the SAME, who is being 'irrational'?

So which WASP's in your population evolved into Samoans?

The individuals are the same. Or are you saying that .1% of the individuals within the population were transmogrified from WASPs into Samoans?
