Now, while you've been focusing on minutia, the larger question is, so what?

Some evidence used to support Darwinian evolution, in fact a highly regarded piece of evidence, lies in ruin. It calls into question the validity of the modelling done in the constructing the trees of relatedness using the techniques which provided the trees for the mesonychus and the pakicetus. And it shows the necessity of something akin to the double blind in the field of fossil analysis.

Your answer also demonstrates what many have been pointing out for so long. That Darwinism is nothing but a "religious" viewpoint, separate from the question of evolution.

So they connected the dots in the wrong order. Or included a dot in a series where it didn't fit. It happens. Someone evenutally notices and fixes it. This could be your shot. Publish your results and get your discovery footnoted somewhere.

Just don't kid yourself; the evidence still exists. The fossils are still standing. If memory serves there have been a few incidents where the wrong head was attached to a skeleton. The mistakes are found and corrected. So what? None of these concerns are foreign to scientific inquiry, and none support the contention that the general theory of common descent, driven by variation and natural selection, is crumbling like a house of cards.
