I know plenty about phenetics... and the rest of the literature on phylogeny, for that matter. I studied morphometrics and biometry with Bob Sokal, actually. I'm not a dumb as I let on. I just wanted to hear the best an individual like Cking had to offer, and so far it's what I expected... blind adherence to the groups he learned about in elementary school.

I'm glad we no longer have mushrooms in the plantae, and it's nice to see the protists breaking up. If I could just get the textbook publishers to quit printing chapters on "invertebrates". They ignore my comments every time I serve as a reviewer.

He will not beat your challenge, by the way. Nice one.
