[[He asked for an explanation of how something that’s predictive isn’t a prediction. One trivial way to discern the difference, and the one I pointed out, is that they have different grammatical roles but I doubt CottShop was aware of this. I think his posts that you didn’t bother to read make that clear. For example, when I previously used the word “predictive,” his reply used the word “predictable.” In his very next post, he changed from “predictable” to “prediction.”]]

are you always this anal?

The model of Baraminology is predictive,

When one uses Baraminology, one can predict discontinuity.

Baraminoly clasifications predict discontinuity.

Because the model of Baraminology is predictive, One can make a prediction.

Do you always get attack someone’s character when you can’t prove Bariminoly is predictive after you state that it isn’t? You feel better now big guy?

Words to ponder.

The model of Baraminology is predictive,

So you said. You even had a claimed prediction. But you have yet to back it up. I'll give you another chance. Here is what you said is a prediction of this scheme.

Baraminology predicts that we should see major unrelatedness, or discontinuity, among various taxa
And here is what I said.
Please explain this prediction. Tell me the theory behind this and the logical argument that follows from that theory whose conclusion is "we should see major unrelatedness, or discontinuity, among various taxa." You'll also have to be more specific about what constitues "major unrelatedness, or discontinuity, among various taxa."
So, can you back up your claim or not? I'm betting you can't.
