You are not addressing the point you claim to be addressing. The point is that homology is not a legitimate way of figuring out descent.

I am perfectly within my rights to address straightening out your nomenclature, as well as your claims, in any order I care to.

Which again evades the point about homology not being a legitimate way of figuring out descent. You keep trying to divert from the point that bones can only be categorized by homology (because they have so little information) and homologous traits occur in widely different species which in no way have an ancestor/descendant relationship. So yes, paleontology is nonsense.
