Can't we just un-fish it like we do for other clades when we need to?
"There's an ape in the office!"
"Yes, his name is Tom. More importantly, he is a human being, and we don't refer to them as apes outside of an academic context and even then, only when necessary."
[Tom eats a banana, screams at an intern, and starts picking his nose]
No, fuck paraphyletic groups.
I meant, can't we just be more specific rather than use paraphyletic grouping?
"What's for dinner?"
"Fish"
"That could mean anything!"
"You know I meant Actinopterygii."
"Still pretty broad."
"Oncorhynchus."
"You know how I feel about trout."
"Ugh. tshawytscha."
"Well, why didn't you just say so in the first place?"
