Okay... the answer is rather obvious. When you find out what it is you will think, "Of course." And you will see HOW it gives migrants the tremendous advantage it does.

I deduce it is hard to see because it would be like a fish trying to imagine a state of "no water." All his life all he knows is water. Trying to figure out "no water" is tough - not impossible but tough.
