Re: Martin 2004 critique (somewhat lengthy)



 Indeed. However, contrary to what David Marjanovic said, it is not
phylogenetic systematics, either.

That's how Hennig called it.

Cladistics is a system of programming used to
find a match between any two sets of data and their relationship to other sets
of data in couplets, or in further defined patterns of arrangement. This, while
applicable to systematics and phylogeny, is really the tool used by that method
of phylogeny recovery. [...]

You are using "cladistics" as the overarching expression for both cladistics and phenetics. This is incorrect.
