Interesting how you say "irrrelevant" to begin with to seem like you've made a clever dismissal of what I said and THEN go on to state;

"Wars and other 'reasons to kill each other' would certainly hinder such efforts, but wouldn't preclude them."

So it's NOT "irrelevant" as you initially said.

These "Wars and other 'reasons to kill each other'" have been hindering us in many many ways for a very long time.

So, you've impressed yourself by using the word "irrelevant" at least. I GUESS

I'm not impressed with it though. your usage of it made no sense. You even tore down your own use of it
