Hi Tim, why do you find it so difficult to believe? Why is it so
difficult that the original culture can't survive? What do you think
is better able to survive in the mixture than the original starter. Do
you see what I'm getting at? It's an unknown to you either way so why
should one be more likely than the other? Something has survived
that's a fact. You'll just have to accept that you don't know either
way and that it doesn't really matter anyway.
