Like when I responded to Junior's assertion that biologists don't use the word "devolution."

Again, in English and slowly, I'll state that until Junior or you talk to every biologist on earth you do not know that ALL biologists refrain from using the word.

The word "all" appeared nowhere in his post. Care to try again?

And if you're as conversant in English as you claim, how exactly are you unaware of the concept of generalization?

I myself know several who use the word...and quite frequently. In English.

Name them and state the fields in which they allegedly have experience.

It was an incorrect generalization. I know many biologists who use the word "devolution" which negates his premise that "biologists do not use the word 'devolution.'"

(Try remembering to remove the italics tags next time It makes your very deep and profound posts even more difficult for us flapdoodles to read.)

I'll name them as soon as you give us your home address and social security number.
