Zachriel: Vehicles can be formed into any of a number of nested hierarchies depending on the traits chosen. The most obvious classification is by make, brand, model and year. But we could group them by heavy truck, pickup truck, sedan, roadster, motorcycle. Or by accessories, radio, brakes, air bags, fuel injections.
When an innovation occurs in vehicle manufacture, it quickly spreads across the lineages. If Ford gets a radio, soon Chevy and Dodge will have radios too. And we can mix-and-match; so a car and a pickup makes a Ranchero. Or put different tires on it, or an engine from another line.
Life doesn’t work like that... |

Zachriel was subject to silent bannination for his sins. Meanwhile Joseph and jerry lend their special touch to the conversation.

| Quote | | jerry: Allen, why do you misrepresent things? You are supposed to be a grown up. You often supply interesting information but the whole comment about beer drinking and puffs of smoke and then misrepresenting thing is childish. If I had a couple beers around Darwinists I would pull their tails too with a lot more than a puff of smoke. |
