[Taxacom] systematics eggs in one basket

[John Grehan]

I'm not so sure that one is as bad as the other, but I was not making
any such judgement in this respect. But if it is valid for systematists
to specialize purely in molecular characters (and given the number of
papers and practioners this specialization appears to be generally
considered valid) then it is equally valid for one to specailize purely
in morphology.
