I believe the reason you made up was that he felt it was a "sin" in his "sect".
I've a feeling (hunch...hmm...nay absolute) that the truth is quite far from that determined on your planet.
PLUS...all of your bickering is >STILL< irrelevent...because what you were seeking >WAS< posted...it just happened to invalidate your original premise.
Which, I'm sure. is why you are ignoring it.
