John,
I understand your skepticism, as some really odd things can happen, but the
logic behind that statement is firm: if the insects cannot mature, they
cannot reproduce, and it is through reproduction that resistance is passed
on.
I suppose that insects exposed to the chemical might magically begin to
reproduce earlier in their own generation (yeah, right), but as the stuff also
stops eggs and larvae from maturing, I don't see how it's possible for the
population to continue.
