Hmmm....in the spirit of this statement:
> populations are definitively NOT always taxa. They may be
> in some specific circumstances but dont deserve the general term
....I would respond to the following statement:
> taxa are actually not opinions based
> but hypotheses inferred by phylogenies, unless a tested hypothesis
qualifies

With this statement:
> [taxa] are definitively NOT always [hypotheses]. They may be
> in some specific circumstances but dont deserve the general term
...but I think we digress.....
