The lore already distinctly states how both Miqo'te clans go about mating, so there wasn't really a need for speculation on that front. When it comes to RP, things will not always be so black and white. This I know. But the overly-extensive expansion upon the subject just seems unnecessarily excessive to me.
Part of it stems from different peoples' depth of understanding on biology. The original, concrete beginning of this thesis occurred in a thread where someone specifically asked questions about in-breeding in regards to the Seekers of the Sun. I got a lot of good feedback from that thread, and folks were generally interested in the perspective of someone with a deeper scientific background. There were other threads as well asking a variety of questions like "would Miqo'te be monogamous" or "would my Miqo'te be likely to have a father in the house?" I was bored and had a lot of time on my hands, so I endeavored to combine all those different ideas into one informative thread for discussion by the community. Also, this occurred in the 3-4 week period between beta phase 3 and phase 4, when I and many others were clamoring for something game related and working on the backgrounds for our Miqo'te characters.
