Dear Crash,
​
I think that 'Ontogeny recapitulates Phylogeny' is simply wrong. I don't think there is even a case to be made for a 'weak' interpretation that doesn't require completely redefining the word 'recapitulate'.
​
It is certainly both useful and valid to study the ways in which ontogeny reflects phylogeny, which is what evo-devo tries to do.
​
TTFN,
