Wait, what do you mean by "the whole system shutting down"? Because if the testes are just shrinking, that's one thing—but saying the "function is gone too" sounds like a big leap. Have you actually measured fertility or hormone levels, or is that an assumption?

I'm not saying the function is gone, but when the testes shrink that much, it's not just about size—it's about the whole reproductive machinery going into hibernation. You can't really call that "functional" anymore.

Wait, what do you mean by "functional regression"? Because if the testes are just shrinking, how do you know the system isn't still capable of resuming function when conditions change?

You're assuming "shrinking" is just about size, but it's more than that—those organs aren't just smaller, they're functionally dormant. It's like a car engine going into hibernation, not just getting smaller.

You're assuming "shrinking" is just about size, but when they go from grape to rice, the tissue isn't just smaller—it's dormant. That's not just regression, that's shutdown.

Wait, what do you mean by "functional regression"? Because if the testes are just shrinking, how does that equate to the whole system shutting down? It's not like they're disappearing entirely.
