Yes, it is self evident. The point to saying it though is not. Hence me asking what's your point? Which you haven't answered.
As for the last part, it fits quite easily. I'm not saying every person has the potential to trigger the exact same reactions that others. Looks aren't the only factor after all, there's also pheromones and a myriad of other factors that I haven't taken into account .
So basically you're admitting the theory is filled with flaws, an has overlooked many other things. So we're in agreement on that then.

They have the chemical reaction with someone else and only the attachment with their partner.
But if the chemical reaction is created by lust, then as long as they still lust after their partner, no matter how long they've been together, the chemical reaction would still take place.
