Cladistics is both contradictory and falsified by facts

The ancient Greeks quarreled about two orthogonal approaches to discussing reality, Heracleitus' and Parmanides' approaches, until Plato solved the contradictions both between and within them with his geometrical (or mathematical) atomism. This approach provided the foundation for the theories of modern physics, Linnean systematics and Object-Oriented Programming.

Recently, about 50 years ago, the German entomologist Willi Hennig challenged Plato's geometrical atomism by simply conflating Plato's "world of ides" with his "forms", claiming that they are equal. Hennig's claim transferred the approach in biological systematics from Plato's geometrical atomism back into Parmenides' approach, thereby denying the existence of change.

Now, if Hennig indeed is right, and if Plato's "world of ides" thus equals his "forms", then infinity equals finity and time is not relative to space. Then contradictions are thus real and facts are fiction. This kind of being right can actually not be falsified by anything, but is, instead, hard-core belief. It will search the treasure at the foot of the rainbow forever, independently of its goallessness.
