Of course we don't know, I asked, does anyone have proof they are intergrades, which is a produce on one type mating another. I posted the definition of intergrade. Nothing has shown they are. They are populations that have been isolated for long periods of time and breed themselves. So they cannot be intergrades. These populations apparently have a wide genotype and produce a variety of color and pattern types.
The assumption of intergrades would mean that where we grew up, SoCal, would have one pattern type of king. If they could move 10 miles, or 30, it would mean, all kings in SoCal would interbreed and be exactly alike. but they don't and are not alike.
Now consider where I live where its very harsh.
ALso, its not about right or wrong, Without knowing what occurred in the past, we cannot be right, but we sure can talk about it. Watch out for the tiger sharks sir
