Then we agree.

If you could give me an example of some of the good stuff that isn't quite that well explained logically (this is all I've been asking for this entire thread)
What kind of fathering or mothering makes for a society that lasts for very many generations?

Nobody really knows an exact answer to that question. Indeed one of the most logical ways to answer that question is to look at practices and ideas that have survived. We might not know what in a framework that has survived is creating fitness, but we do know that the framework is associated with survival and most probably fitness.
