but bare assertions that "there is no reason to expect" is nothing but a bare assertion without documentation.
so your original statement is that no speciation event occured. right?
and now razd is saying that this article has the unreasonable expectation of a localized extinction (and therefor speciation).
and now you're saying that it is not unreasonable to have expected a speciation result?
{edit: and then you're using that unfulfilled expectation to do what, exactly? topple the strawman claim that speciation occured? is anyone even arguing here?}
