Breast milk "confers no advantage" compared to what?
(baby dying from starvation? water? cow milk? soylent? infant formula -- which one?)
All that stuff that exists in breast milk -- such as immunoglobulin A, lysozyme, blood albumin, creatine -- it's just completely useless, I guess. I wonder why evolution even bothered to design such system, when it provides no advantage. (This is a sarcastic way to say "my priors for this hypothesis are very low".)
Always a good questions to ask.
