Re: two points
In cases like N. Ireland and Kossovo the 'wealth= more fit" argument hardly worked as these (typically) poorer population subsets (Catholics, Albanians) eventually overwhelmed the wealthier ones.
​
Unless you've just stepped out of your time machine and have access to information the rest of us don't I think it is more than a little premature to claim that the Catholics in Northern Ireland have "overwhelmed" the Protestants. The Protestants are still in the majority (and are likely to be for some time) - this is why when there was a devolved assembly the First Minister was a Protestant. If it is ever restarted it will still be a Protestant, unfortunately this time it will be the monstrous Ian Paisley.

Re: busted
I stand by my Kossovo example though.

Well being a Darn Limey I just can't resist pointing out that it was really US air power that overwhelmed Serbia in Kosovo, not the Kosovo Albanians
