I think that Southack, on any other kind of thread, would be calling the NAS a bunch of pink pantied, kiche munching commie libs. He was desperate to find a way out of the corner. I have to say I admire his google skills. I have not found a single other instance of the word recessive used in reference to bacteria.

The word nonce refers to a word used only once in all of literature. Shakespeare added a pile of them. I don't know if there's a word to describe a word misused only once.

I was being sarcastic, of course. Silly game, trying to use science articles to prove that science actually disproves what science tells us. Morton's Demon, the ultimate in selective filtering technology, has to put in some serious overtime.
