You say "all life is a nested hierarchy", but apparently there are many creatures that don't fall into a nested hierarchy.
I'm not aware of any. Got a few examples?
Based on my reading of Dredge to this point, he has no idea whatsoever what a nested hierarchy is. The idea that at a particular moment in time a god created languages which are "distinct from each other" and yet form a nested hierarchy betrays a deep, deep misunderstanding.

Creationists often resemble Mark Twain's character Mr. Ballou in their tendency towards
"...loving and using big words for their own sakes, and independent of any bearing they might have upon the thought he was purposing to convey."
That is certainly my sense of what has happened in this case.
