I thought the GP comment was interesting. The hypothesis that if the decision becomes too complicated you just give up and fallback to the strong male.

Behaviour in a closed system choosing between the alpha, sound familiar to any animal behaviour? Oh, but we are so much more than that. We aren't animals, we are developed people. Fascinating behaviour isn't it, Muppet.
