They got way more of the Everett branches, so to speak. Suppose that the Pseudosuchians had a 20% chance of producing croc-FAI. So starting at the Triassic, you have that 20% of worlds become croc-god worlds, and 80% become a mix of X-god worlds for very many different Xs; maybe only 5% of worlds produce humans, and only .01% produce Humane-gods.
Maybe doing this with Pseudosuchians is less plausible than with humans because you can more easily model what Humane-gods would bargain for, because you have access to humans. But that’s eyebrow-raising. What about Corvid-gods, etc. If you can do more work and get access to vastly more powerful acausal trade partners, seems worth it; and, on the face of it, the leap from [acausal trade is infeasible, period] to [actually acausal trade with hypothetical Humane-gods is feasible] seems bigger than the jump from [trade with Humane-gods is feasible] to [trade with Corvid-gods is feasible] or [trade with Cetacean-gods is feasible], though IDK of course. (Then there’s the jump to [trade with arbitrary gods from the multiverse]. IDK.)
Why would the time it happens at matter?
