To be honest, the idea that many of the Irregulars are beautiful simply because they are Irregulars is somewhat preposterous, but there may be some value in the Shinsoo control portion of the theory.

It's relatively easy to imagine an explanation for the 10GW being all beautiful. If you think about Zahard's preference for being "surrounded by" characters who are not only powerful but also beautiful--as embodied by the Zahard Princesses--we can speculate that he has selected his original company with the same concerns.

In general, though, I should think there is something genetic about this lemma. Our world is quite clear that appearance is the stuff of good genes, and ToG story frequently relies on the hereditary nature of talent / power, so this isn't much of a stretch. Anyone recalls a character that has been described as either powerful but ugly, or weak but beautiful?

Alternative explanation is that SIU's decision on this matter is personal and requires no further rationale. =P
