Martin, 1997

[...]

Ah, but no. Since he was too ignorant to correctly root his tree, we must do it for him:

This sentence seems to have generated some confusion, for which I apologize. I didn't want to imply general ignorance. Dr. Martin has done and published quite a bit of research on which he quite clearly knows more than I. I just wanted to point out that he didn't know how to root a cladogram, even though this belongs to the uttermost basics of cladistics. In other words, he made a cladogram and published it without knowing that he didn't know how to make a cladogram. -- Naturally I don't know how much he has learned since 1997.
