If we were to somehow magically remove mosquitos from existence in an instant, we'd better hope something fills their ecological niche quickly

I understand what you're saying here, but the set of people killed by "every disease ever" includes the entire set of people killed by mosquito-borne diseases. Mosquitoes can't have killed more people than every disease ever because mosquitoes' kill count is part of every disease ever.

"I don't have to change my behavior" is the most trivially easy thing for anyone to convince themself.

This is really at the core of what I was trying to say. If i asked for a drink with gi ger beer in it and received one with ginger ale in the place of the ginger bee, I'd consider that incorrect, regardless of either beverage's history

To be clear, the drinks labeled ginger beer in every store i've been to is VERY different from the one labeled ginger ale

Which side is the righthand side of a bed? Is it my right when i'm laying on my back on the bed, or my right when i'm standing at the foot of the bed facing it (which is usually where i'm standing when i'm about to put a fitted sheet onto the mattress)?

It's pretty likely that the temperature needed to polymerize the oil would destroy whatever compounds are responsible for making olive oil taste and smell the way it does. Plus, if done well, seasoning creates a permanent bond between the polymer and the metal, so you probably wouldn't get anything to come out of the seasoning into the food.

As for adding iron to the food, you might be thinking of acidic foods causing iron to leech out into the food. If the seasoning is "perfect" then this might not happen, but any weakspots in the seasoning can allow acids to corrode the pan if they're left there long enough. Common advice you'll find is to avoid cooking acidic food for long periods of time (e.g., simmering tomato sauce for several hours)

Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing. The joke here is that designing a building like this creates a lot of work for the engineers designing the building utilities

If you're an architect, understand that this is the MEP equivalent of fighting words.
