> What about the small difference between 10 and 200?

So wait now you want a justification for low millions vs high millions? Trying to move the goalpost isn’t an argument. You wanted justification for why not thousands or billions and I provided it.

That said, 200 is ~10% of daily calorie needs directly plus all the cellular machinery to produce sperm, that’s a big deal especially with some reserves for multiple ejaculations. Isn’t it interesting how science actually provides understanding here.

> you actually need to prove

IVF studies have proven this stuff, I’m referring to actual research here. There’s a ton of studies trying to recreate this kind of filtering. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7365522/

PS: That’s exactly the kind of thing I would have brought out sooner if I realized you where so emotionally invested.
