My point, you evasive twit, 

[moderator's note: Now, now. Play nice, boys. - JAH]

is that you are not 
accurately reflecting Popper's thinking/words.  
You've created your own little scientific fantasy 
world and you delude yourself into believing that 
you're getting away with it (making sense) by the 
fact that you don't fully comprehend (or care to 
fully comprehend) what Popper (or Darwin or Mendel 
for that matter) actually thought/said.

When I suggest that you actually employ Mendel's 
words I'm not doing this because I want to open a 
discussion with you about your impression of what 
Popper said/meant.  I'm doing it so that your 
terminological sloppiness does further add to your 
delusion.
