“I believe that this is more of a personal bias rather than something that is based on empirical evidence.”

Of course it is.

“So what you are saying is that you have never produced a generic alterna? If you have then clearly you don't have the same ability to draw the line either, right? In my opinion it is quite a leap to make the assumption that you are making, but again you are entitled to your opinion”.

LOL. I think you agreed with the main point of my post; “Granted, equating hybridization with producing generics or mis-matching localities was a bit of a stretch in comparison.”

“I also think it is quite an extrapolation for you to believe that there is necessarily some inherent 'shame' that hybridizers feel with regard to what they do.”

Where did I write that? It’s just not my gig, nor the like-minded individuals that I associate with.

What other types of 'issues' would there be short of catching someone in a lie or proving them wrong in some other way?

That is a very good question. Also, what should be the standards for this “proof”? Absolute certainty? Beyond a reasonable doubt? More likely than not?
Dunno.
