You are profoundly mistaken. You might see that if you answered my question about the myosin phylogeny.
You are evading the larger question…
The same reason hybrid engines are called hybrids while purely electric vehicles are called electric vehicles.
Do you want to make an actual point here?
and this is what we find with cars. since a tipical car is more similar to other car than to a bicycle. since it shares more parts with other car.
The overall picture is that we have a nested hierarchy of organisms, but - despite you and Sal repeatedly claiming it is possible - we do not have a nested hierarchy of vehicles, and we definitely do not have a nested hierarchy of vehicles in which the hierarchy is the same or similar regardless of what traits are used to build it.
False. The objection that you have no nested classification of vehicles does not apply to organisms.
Until and unless you (or Sal) produce a nested hierarchy of vehicles to compare against that which has been found for life, there is no way to determine whether the level of discrepancy is equivalent.
No, you are evading the larger question. The larger question is effectively:
Can a nested hierarchy be built for vehicles that is similar to that for living organisms?
Given your complete failure to build any nested hierarchy for anything or even demonstrate that you know what a nested hierarchy even is, the answer as far as your attempts are concerned is a definite “no”, and it will continue to be “no” no matter how often you try to divert onto specific details such as live birth in sharks while ignoring the fact that you have no nested hierarchy for vehicles.

Unless those sharks have two reproductive systems they do not break the nested hierarchy in the same way that vehicles with two engines do.
But the basic problem remains the same. Your claim that these overlaps are similar is completely groundless because you have no vehicle hierarchy, so cannot see the extent to which the nested hierarchy for vehicles fails, and so cannot compare it to such examples from nature.
When you have a nested hierarchy for vehicles, your claims might be worth listening to. But every post you make in which you try to divert from issues with the vehicle hierarchy to allegedly equivalent issues with the biological hierarchy renders your claims less and less credible.
Stop pissing about. Either create a hierarchy for vehicles and show that the discrepancies are equivalent, or admit that you can’t create a hierarchy for vehicles and withdraw your claims.

This discussion is going nowhere, and I think this is because you two do not understand what a nested hierarchy is.
If I am mistaken, please explain what the term means, in your own words.
