Hopefully you can learn a bit from your mistakes.

Trust your initial instincts

I'm not making mistakes nor deceiving anyone.

What mistakes are you referring to? If they are mistaken then they should be corrected.

Trust your initial instincts

My initial instincts were that you were a desperate lawyer picking at the only issue with any traction at all.

At best, the information you presented appeared to conflict with Ichneumon's. And my initial instinct was that even assuming ERVs inserted at a single site, the evidence still showed common ancestry.

But even the insertion pattern found in primates and humans made no sense vs. your point. If ERVs always inserted at the same point, then the species distribution of ERVs would be random vs. the species divergence. And/or all related species would have all "hot spots" in their genomes occupied by ERVs.

I was giving you plenty of benefit of the doubt on this, even though I wasn't convinced on your point from the beginning.
