My guess is the author never met the tank or patriarch.
From cracked.com:
Love it though: "Now consider the poor zombie. It lacks every single advantage that has kept humanity from being eaten to extinction. It wanders around in the open, it can't use weapons, it can't think or use strategy. It doesn't even have the sense of self preservation to run and hide when it's in danger. And, it's made entirely out of food."
That's what made "28 Days Later" and "28 Weeks Later" semi-believable: the virus was transmitted so quickly (both due to the means of transmission and the behavioral changes in the host), it didn't matter that the zombified human's life expectancy was substantially reduced. When a virus is able to replicate, it wins. That's what "survival of the fittest" is actually about.
