No offense taken! It's my fault for being in "stealth mode" or something like it.

I'm outta here. I got what I needed from CKing. He actually admitted that he clings to the "reptilia" because Linnaeus told him to. I honestly didn't hope for such a satisfying conclusion, but there it is. I also delighted in his flailings about how taxonomy isn't science and that phylogeny is purely about utility... I guess I'll just start categorizing animals by color, then. Sure, evolution is history, but that doesn't mean it's not accessible to science for Pete's sake. He's worse than my creationist students.
