No, no. You're coming at that statement too narrowly, and I should've clarified. They're observably more human than not in just about every way. They think, they feel, they reason, and they create just like humans do. There's no distinction between human and Miqo'te that isn't a few superfluous physical quirks.
Also, whether you realize it or not, your attraction is still influenced by physiology, and things that equate to power.

And that works in reverse. Red means "power" to your brain. Power is attractive. That's universal.

I know you said you quit, and whatever, but we all know you'll read this.
To the point: I swear constantly. I don't think I was even swearing at you. I think the only occurrences of that evil, evil F word were to illustrate the severity of quantity.
To further this point, even though you quit, because I guess you had no interest in a thread and decided to post anyway (why bother?):

When you say "rare", you're quantifying. You don't have a quantity. Quantities are measured in numbers.
