I know anon, but he's still a cuck doesn't matter how much pussy he fucks.
>bbbb-b-b-but Destiny fucks more than his wife, she literally has videos of her crying because of how much he cucks her ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lk9Y8K83tj0 , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvZW4_DHry8 ) Not only that! he actually cucked her for months with Lauren Southern and even tried to replace her for Lauren!!!!
It doesn't matter anon, just because you disrespect your wife more than she does doesn't change the fact that she disrespects you, most people see she disrespects you and think she disrespects you everyday while you only cry.

Yeah, Martin is dumb with numbers, but what wanted to explore wasn't realism, that's a strawman of his goal or a complete misunderstanding of it.
The Aragorn quote isn't about realism, it's about the nature of a good ruler, and whether or not Aragorn would have been one after the war was over.
Just like Martin's "Dunk and Egg tales" series explores what it means to be a Knight, the main series, ASOIAF, explores what does it mean to rule, the nature of man, and his famous quote "The Human Heart In Conflict With Itself ", those are all relevant things for today's society in which we have increasing amounts of extremist ideologies all conflicting with what should be considered good or how society should be ruled.
ASOIAF is what seems to be a godless world, in complete contradiction Tolkien's work, because these 2 men grew up in two completely different societies, just like the 3 things I listed seem to be Martin's goal, Tolkien's was a Christian fantasy story which was relevant to his time in which men needed that "simpler" (I don't mean it in a negative way) fight of GOOD vs EVIL.

Martin's work can be seen as a materialist take on fantasy, while Tolkien is deeply religious and "spiritual"

In short, I reject the premise that Martin's work is bad because it isn't realistic, that was never his goal and that wasn't his criticisms of Tolkien's, sure, he has stated he doesn't like when his stories aren't grounded on something so he does try to explain things, but that isn't the goal of his books.
