I definitely did. Like this part: "These results confirm that DNA damage, even in prepared sperm, is associated with adverse semen quality." Did you read at all?
Sir, do you understand the difference between SPERM and SEMEN?
Semen quality is just a measure of the volume and mobility of the sperm in it.
Yes, semen containing sperm with damaged DNA would result in either less volume of cells, less activity in the cells, or both. This would lower the quality of the semen.
You forgot sperm morphology, although they didn't look at that in this paper. What they did look as part of semen quality were sperm concentration, motility and progressive motility. These are all characteristics of the sperm, and they use "sperm quality" interchangeably with "semen quality". So it's disingenuous of you to split hairs over the difference between sperm and semen. The paper concludes that sperm DNA damage is correlated with low visible sperm quality, contrary to Cato's uninformed claim that you are attempting to argue for.
You didn't even read the abstract of the paper you linked.
