Most people probably do not have 2048 ninth great grandparents. If you've come from a small village where your family has been for a long time... you're probably not even close.

After generations the number of ancestors you should have vastly exceeds the number of humans who have ever lived. Therefore the math of your ancestry proves a significant proportion of incest.

That's practically permission.

Even the bible can't escape the fact there was a ton of incest initially.
