MODERATORS
Yes, which is why I phrased my statement as "Well, ... could..." to indicate an alternative perspective. This was to illustrate that sometimes pithy reductive quips can be based on overly reductive assumptions. Maybe it is the case that a single baby is all that's required, but maybe the author misunderstood the goal.
In this fictional scenario of the author's creation? That just demonstrates the converse - that sometimes simple ideas will be deliberately misinterpreted in a convoluted way, to prove someone else's point.
So a straw man? Or are we supposed to infer that this is an illustrative example of actual behavior?
