Perhaps we could point out that the 'objectivity' of phylogenetics is supported by the fact that very many independent lines of evidence give rise to remarkably similar 'trees'. These include paleotological evidence, molecular genetics evidence, and morphological evidence. The fact that all these different sources of evidence converge on extremely similar cladograms is strongly indicative of their veracity.
