regarding the 1% and 99% figures, they are simply an arbitrary percentage stating how much i think emps is not a perpetual (although i'm being generous with the 1% as i straight-up think he 'aint a perpetual but accept the, miniscule, possibility that he is), but that opinion is based on the fact that there isn't a single shred of factual or indicative evidence about emps' perpetualness. i don't have a problem with the idea that emps is a perpetual, but without any evidence then the default position is that he simply isn't.

and yes, sanguinius' wings seem to be a result of the chaotic influence every primarch was subject to during their trip through the warp in their gestation capsules. but why then do people flat-out refuse to accept the possibility that the same chaotic influence could be the source of vulkan's perpetualness? and even if that's not the source emps, despite his genetics knowledge, couldn't guarantee what would occur from the primarch project, for example he didn't try to create twins but got a pair anyway, and didn't understand why, so it's entirely feasible that vulkan's perpetaulness was another 'mistake' in the primarch project.

and as sanguiniuslives points out, as i have done, if emps was a perpetual he would have let himself die a long time ago, and the imperium wouldn't be in the state it's currently in.
