Your statement that birds 'share a more recent common ancestor with crocodiles than with other reptiles' is itself a deduction, not a fact. You cannot tell the difference.

BTW, that's exactly how a presented it. As a deduction, not as a fact:

Except of course as they may lead to deductions from common descent. For instance [i.e. as an instance of such a deduction] birds share a more recent common ancestor with crocodiles than with other reptiles, or than with any other animal.

Keep working on those reading comprehension skills. We'll get there! In the mean time I'll continue to help when I can.

Yep, we're still waiting for some *facts* that falsify YEC.

Meanwhile you play around with word games.

Don't worry. I understand why. You don't have any facts.
