I took the argument implied by the original question to be “Humans respond to pathos in such-and-such way; humans don’t respond to pathos in such-and-such way because evolution found it funny; therefore, humans respond to pathos in such-and-such way for some other reason. Possible such reasons include this, this and this.” Did you take it to be something else?
