Didn't say it was. Give another read.
The point was that what you have between your ears is going to be a larger factor in survival than whether you have a gut.
It's always a little amusing that skinny guys think it's about being "lazy". I know a lot of "fat bodies" who work for hours trying to control their weight with counter-productive results. It's not about lazy, but like firearms, one size of exercise program does not work for all. Having a gut doesn't mean you're out of shape anymore than not having one means you in shape...it's simply a "risk factor".
People would do well to understand that "risk factor" doesn't mean something will happen. It only means that when taken over the sum total of a whole population, those with a gut have a higher risk of problems, not that a particular individual will.
