The German entomologist Willi Hennig dived from objectivity to pure subjectivity, but found nothing but contradiction in accepting the idea of a single True Tree of Life (today called the class clade). Accepting this idea namely also means accepting paradoxes, when accepting paradoxes means denying a single True Tree of Life, and vice versa.The two simply can't make it up.
This fact ought not come as a surprise, since subjectivity, of course, can't be objective. Good old Willi thus dived into between the barrels, a dive that today is called cladistics.
