The codominance myth

[CH2O2]

when talking to another person and you say incomplete dominant and they look at you like they have no idea what your talking about.

I would call that the perfect oportunity to teach something new to that person. You would be surprised how many persons like to lern something new. You wont know untill you try it.

Then want to argue they were always told co-dom and then you derail what you were originally talking about to have a biology lesson and then your left with someone who most likely does not care that thinks your being ridiculous because as you see most people couldn't care less and everyone says it the other way.

Some people will thank you for correcting them. Other people will continue to use the wrong term because they are stubborn. I say it is better to give those people a chance to make their own choise.

On top of that you never had the original conversation you were trying to have.

Why not? You teach them the correct term and move on to what you wanted to talk about in the first place. And if those persons still want to talk about incomplete dominance... ermmm... maybe they are interested in the issue?

Now as you see above, people who actually study this stuff will argue that it is not incomplete dominant...

Where exactly did you see above anyone that studied biology saying it is not incomplete dominant. I don't see it. Besides if you read, and understand, the definition of codominant and incomplete dominant (look above) you will agree that incomplete dominant is the correct term. I am not making it up. I am using the definition of the terms.

...or is and there other factors, nothing is proven, blah blah blah...

Did you read my response to that? Please read again, i have already explained it.

*insert other reasons I don't understand*...

Yes, you don't understand and that is not the problem. The problem is you are making an effort NOT to understand.

...you can't simply say incomplete dominant is correct...

But i can. Simply using the definition of codominant and incomplete dominant, i can.

so you really can't win how you use it.

I am not trying to win. I am trying to make you understand the definition of codominant and incomplete dominant. How you use the knowledge is your own choice.

...when it comes down to it, people want to talk snakes, not the label mendel put on these classifications.

No. YOU seem content to just "talk snakes". Don't presume to judge what other people want without asking their opinion.

That's why I have no problem using it incorrectly. I just want to be understood when I talk.

What a peculiar way you choose to be understood, when you consistently choose to use the incorrect terminology. No, you are just stubborn. You are standing in front of the trees but refuse to see the forest.
