    I agree. With same logic:

    • Water is not mercury
    • Water is liquid
    • Liquid is mercury
    • Water is mercury

      Not all liquids are, or come from mercury, while all tretapods come from fishes. So that logic doesn’t work.

        I agree. All animals and plants are single celled.

          ‘Single celled’ is a characteristic, not a lineage. Organisms don’t necessarily have the same characteristics as their ancestors.

            You’re seriously splitting hairs about lineage when you know humans are obviously not fish.

              A species can not evolve out of a clade. I am not splitting hairs, I am simply accepting cladistics classification as valid.

                I am simply accepting cladistics classification as valid.

                Obviously you are not, since fish are not considered a monophyletic group.

                  Bony fish (Osteichthyes) is monophyletic.

                  However, since 2013 widely cited ichthyology papers have been published with phylogenetic trees that treat the Osteichthyes as a clade including tetrapods

        Yes but “mammals are tetrapods” is the incorrect one

      That would explain why water is so deadly. 100% of people that drink water will die

        But not 100% of people who died have drunk water

          But their bodies contained water(possibly inherited from parent, who were addicted to water)
