Ah, but that isn't particularly true in the way you're thinking it is---why be so uncharitable? I wouldn't assume that your aversion to monagamy is the result of culturally-inherited cached cheers; it's not socially polite or epistemicly hygienic. Anyway. I did indeed get many of my aesthetics from my culture, but insofar as you're implying that I have not carefully reflected upon those aesthetics, you are mistaken. (Like many folk here I am significantly more reflective than your average person, and reflective on my process of reflection, and so on, because I mean what else do I have to do all day?) I agree that my statements don't have much information to them, but I don't really see them as "cheers" for monogamy---more like "things that I notice I like about monogamy relative to polygamy". I do have some personal experience on the matter, I'm not simply armchair theorizing or extrapolating from books. It is clear that I should have added a sentence to that effect, or a clause saying "in my experience" to the relevant sentences.
