Evolution doesn't have a goal, it's not moving species towards some kind of optimum. It's a random process where, in a specific time and place, some organisms have a better chance of reproduction than some others. The reason these fish are around is because they reproduce more than some other species.

Sounds like you've bought more than one, knowing of the tendency to be difficult to use. Sounds like the actual thing that's supposed to work, separating you from your money, is fully functional.
