i think we just need a new term for that, if a normal person cannot do it themselves with some reading, practice, and reasonable purchases, then it isn't DIY.
Like, if you're a professional woodworker it's not DIY if you record yourself building a fancy solid mahogany escritoire..
hey now be fair, there are absolutely sports fans who think the teams they dislike would be paid too much if their salary consisted of lethal injections.
The fundamental problem is that cladistic terms will kind of inevitably become general descriptors of any lifeform that looks/behaves similarly, which is immediately clear when you look at any scifi/fantasy stuff.
If an alien animal fills the same niche as salmon do on earth, then we're gonna call it a salmon, and poof suddenly it's no longer monophyletic.
IMO it's either basically just lizards, which i think is perfectly fine since dinosaurs and even crocodilians aren't that reptilian to me.Or reptile has nothing to do with phylogeny and is instead just a physical description, like "fish" and "tree".
Really the only thing that seems particularly similar between lizards and crocodilians is that they have a splayed posture and scaly skin, which is kinda like grouping together humans with ostriches and kangaroos because we walk upright on two legs..
sounds like the complainers aren't rich enough then, you just need to get a monstertruck with suspension that lets you barely feel running over an elephant.
