I thought it was pretty clear but I'll spell it out for the ones in the class that can't keep up. 
I don't keep emoryi mixes as I feel that they are mutts however they are very similar to guttata. So similar that it has been debated whether or not they should be seperate therefore I don't see that mix as being even in the ballpark of mixing hondos with corns.
At least with the emoryi mix they are within the same genus where on the hondo mix they are not.
This is why comparing the two is like comparing apples to oranges.
I implied nothing other than that despite what may have been mistakenly read into it.
Personally I am against both practices but as I have said to each their own. I am especially against it however when the resulting offspring look like one of the parent species for the reasons I mentioned before about them getting into the hobby as something they are not.
