Please include a brief description of the problem with a code example:

# no error
simulate_chains(
		n_chains = 10, statistic = "size",
		offspring_dist = \(n) rnbinom(n, size = 1, mu = 2),
		generation_time = \(n) rep(5, times = n),
		tf = 10
      ))
# error, even though statistic not required / used
simulate_chains(
		n_chains = 10,
		offspring_dist = \(n) rnbinom(n, size = 1, mu = 2),
		generation_time = \(n) rep(5, times = n),
		tf = 10
      ))
