Understanding the argument -
the migration distance is tied to the lifespan of other fledglings. The next part of the premise explains this relationship.
A. a few albatrosses who molted before maturity are capable of migrating further after thirty years as a result - out of scope.
B. the migration distance of thirty-year-old albatrosses is connected to the migration distance of other fledglings - it's not related to the migration distance of other fledglings. It's related to the lifespan of other fledglings. Distortion
C. it is the survival of other fledglings rather than just the birth of those fledglings that more directly affects the migration distance of albatrosses after thirty years - ok
D. albatrosses that migrated long distances after their first molting are more likely to migrate long distances after thirty years as well - Might be true. We don't know. Wrong.
E. the lifespan of other fledglings is more important to albatrosses after their first molting than it is after thirty years - Might be true. We don't know. Wrong.
