come in suckers

There is a posting on another forum claiming ASIC appears to be as much use as ‘tits on a boar pig '. So does the following analogy in some way change our opinion of ASIC's capabilities.

There’s an old phrase that describes something unnecessary – “Useless as tits on a boar.” But these things can be deceiving.
One of our breeding goals is to increase the number of strong tits per sow. All of our breeding sows have at least 14 teats and a few have 16 teats. Realize that in judging competitions for pigs at least 10 teats is the rule so our ladies have already a head start on that score.
We started with sows with 14 teats. To move towards our goal of infinite teats what I did was keep gilts who had buds, under formed sixteenth teats, at the very back, that is to say hindmost. Some of them had daughters with rudimentary teats. Some of those daughters have now had fully producing teats in that hindmost quarter. The newly evolving teats are appearing at the back end of the line.
Why select for more teats? With the idea that more teats means more ability to produce milk. There are other factors in condition scoring but that’s one thing to keep in the mix.
This explains what use are teats on a boar – he might throw more buxom daughters who produce more milk and bigger litters of bigger piglets.
