It's very tricky because the way to distinguish them is to call the other ones in the same larger group 'true Salamanders' which already indicates that there was some historical confusion around naming these.
The tree of life has been re-arranged many times already and as more genomes are sequenced we discover more and more non-obvious mistakes. For instance 'Comb jellyfish' have caused a major stir amongst evolutionary biologists.
It's interesting how we needed taxonomy to figure out that there is such a thing as a tree of life and the basis for genomics and then, once we had that we had to go back and do (multiple) fairly major revisions to fix stuff that turned out to be wrong. The interesting thing is that the overall picture is still subject to such major changes.
The NY Post is not a serious news organization. Whatever the implication politically, this is more akin to limiting the spread of a headline like "Lizard-man found at UFO landing site." And a naked political hit job.
I think the outrage is not at NY Post for posting the alligations or at ABC townhall anchor for ignoring them.
Instead the outrage is about Twitter, FB and others who claim to be 'platforms' and therefore protected under section 230, but instead, systemtically and actively, acting as publishers (that are not under 230).
Perhaps an anology is the outrage and legal consequences , when a for-profit-business uses non-profit charity tax code.
it's tangentially interesting that the number 2 result on bing for 'google' is a washington post semi-hit-piece regarding spam. google's results for 'bing' contain marginally less transparent attacks .
I'd be interested in the breakdown between non/atheist/agnostic, as there are significant differences e.g. level, intensity, or existence of belief structures.
"catholicism is " and "christianity is " both produce the same results... "buddhism is " is actually slightly more positive. anyone for an infographic?
[edit] just saw that tptacek beat me to the punch. cheers.
