It has been long enough that I don’t fully remember my thought process and may have just been looking for an excuse to talk about taxonomy. But I think I was pointing out that his implicit definition was also something ‘most modern biologists have little use for’.
I read your comment several times, and looked up some Wikipedia articles about this (fascinating!) taxonomic fact (which I appreciate you noting).
However, I don’t actually see how what you wrote disagrees with what Zack wrote? (Or was that not your intention?)
