Why does "fitness" imply one and only one specific function?

How do you drive a single car down two different roads at the same time?

You don't - the car changes and takes a different road than the one it started out on. You don't have to be a shark to be as well adapted to your environment as the shark is to his. For that matter, you don't have to be a shark to be as well adapted to the shark's environment as the shark is.

Ha! Even I know this one!!

I can drive on Washington Street and US40 at the same time, or Kentucky Avenue and IN67 at the same time.

Adaptability. Is a pickup truck a work vehicle, family vehicle, sport, towing, cargo?

Elements can adapt to new demands or be used for more than one function. The same neurotransmitter protein in the same organism can be stimulatory or inhibitory - it depends on which system it is in.

Which of the two functions of your male genital organ do you exclusively use?

(And anyone who claims writing in snow is a third function will be ignored)
