The usual tiresome puffery from the evo's. "TA-TA-TA-TAA!! We've proved that naturalistic evolution is true -- look at our massive tome -- so don't bother to argue with us."

True. Asimov tends to think too highly of his own intellect. He once gave an interview where he stated that individual names were too impersonal. It would be much more convenient if everyone was given their own ID number. Afterall, there might be many "John Smiths" but each would have a unique number. (And I think his sci-fi writing is overblown as well).
