And yet again, that's only a partial answer.
Now you have to account for the lack of a similar degradation in mutual fertility BETWEEN MEMBERS within the successive generations.

it's a gross simplification because this is not my area of expertise, but because dna changes over time, A is "more similar" to B than to C. being "more similar" generally increases the probability of being able to mate successully.
remember we're not takling about parents mating with thier children, we're talking about generations. problems due to "inbreeding" are not caused by general similarity as i understand it.
by the way, i'm not trying to convince you that it's true, i'm trying to convince you that the basic conceptual problems you have with it are not valid.
