Dear Taxacomers,

Interesting to see debated in current threads the use of Popperian =
principles in phylogenetic discussion.  Seems old, and related to =
argument focused in dialectic Marxist literature where unsupportable =
tenets need verification for a pre-defined understanding of the =
universe.

Like the use of Popperian principles in (hopefully almost extinct) =
political systems, could it be explained what relevance this debate is =
to the current problems for the entities we study in systematics in the =
present world?
