@typhlosion there is no such thing as objective taxonomy, it's all science conventions
re: metazooa spoilers for 167
@efi true, but when you're using it as the clues for your puzzle guessy game it's kind of important to get it correct
re: metazooa spoilers for 167
@typhlosion how far away was it? I don't even play that game anyway
re: metazooa spoilers for 167
@efi the answer was in Accipitridae but the game said it was in Accipitrinae (a subfamily that includes a different set of species). like i said, a subtle mistake but one that cost me a number of guesses
re: metazooa spoilers for 167
@typhlosion oh, wow, I didn't expect it was an actual latin mistake XD
that's bad, worse than calling a fungus a plant in my book
re: metazooa spoilers for 167
@efi its not really a latin mistake, accipitrinae is a subfamily of accipitridae, just the wrong one
re: metazooa spoilers for 167
@typhlosion I mean it's a mistake in using the latin word, which to me seems like you should quadruple check every time

@typhlosion ohhh yeah this one was a mess. I got it mainly because I couldn't type in anything *but* the answer at the end.

i am upset about this one because the taxonomy is subtly but objectively incorrect
