Sure, and that's what I try to do as much as anyone else when I publish.
If I could not I could not get published. The reviewers of the Mona Lisa
smile seemed to be ok with the documentation and terminology used.
Pierre does not like my terminology because it is not used by the
"majority". By that criterion I should reject Croizat's definition of
dispersal and restrict myself to the Darwinian definition simply because
there are more dispersalists than panbiogeographers.
