Agreed.  Tom Holtz wrote me off-list to explain how I had erred in
reading the cladogram.

 My cladogram says

Two points.

I never said that your cladogram said *anything.*  All I said was that
I looked at it and drew a conclusion.  

And I never used the phrase "more primitive," so your placing it in
quotes purporting to attribute it to me is inaccurate and
inappropriate.
