I see. _One_ thing had a particular reason (the ability of
carbon to form long, branching chains with favorable energy balances),
must mean that _everything_ does. However, the fact that mammals have
a considerable range of body temperatures demonstrates quite clearly
that it does _not_ have to be any particular temperature. And some
animals (camels, for instance) allow considerable temperature
variation within the same individual as external conditions change.

Well, if you keep making incorrect statements and presenting
falsehoods as facts _somebody_ has to disagree with them. Since my
schedule allows me to spot-check my account throughout the day I
generally get to them first, so it's usually me.
If you'd stop making such gaffes, I'd stop disagreeing with what
you say.
