The original claim was a that the camel hump is a macroevolutionary event, not a camel.

The camel hump is no more a "macro"-evolutionary event than is the squashed face of the bulldog. Or is every characteristic of an animal evidence of "macro"-evolution?

First it was a sixth digit. Now it's the facial structure of a dog. Still not there, but you're getting closer.

No. Characteristics at the species level or above are generally considered macroevolutionary.
