Willi Hennig's (today cladistics') idea of a single True Tree of Life is possible ONLY IF the class clade is real, and thus if classes in general are real, because the idea hangs on the axiom that classes are real.
However, IF classes are real, then the idea of a single True Tree of Life is neither possible, since it then is contradictory between all other classes, and contradictions can't be real (at least not as singularities).
It means that Willi Hennig's (today cladistcs') idea of a single True Tree of Life is not possible even if it is possible. All gates to it are closed.
This is, actually, the destiny of all beliefs. Non-contradictory verification is simply an impossibility (as also both Wittgenstein and Popper, among others, have concluded). Understanding of this fact is actually not rocket science today, but just requires understanding of linear algebra, which cladists thus, obviously, haven't. "Cladistics" thus shows all signs of being just an outburst of over-simplification (i.e., populism) by an ignorant bunch of people. However, the fact that some of these people today have come to occupy professor's grades at universities appears to indicate a hidden scientific scandal. How could subjective populism sneak its way to professor's grade in scientific institutions? And, how can these people today be allowed to teach this populism in scientific institutions? What about the poor students that sign in on scientific universities just to have to listen to ignorant teachers teaching subjective populism?
