Many of us reject anything that is not within our often tightly restricted worldview.

This topic transcends what we "know" or think we "know".

Plant cells allow things human cells do not, so I hope you won't take this further into the realm of mankind.

Perhaps, some cabbages are smarter than some humans after all. LOL

That may be true in politics, where, as elections approach, they are often said to be leading by a head, but when they do not win their supporters call it sour grapes.
.I suspect that may be because they cannot spell sauerkraut.

The article is quite specifically about plants, not humans.

That said, since you have expressed some concern, the article shows that cells do not not always follow an inflexible direction of development and there is conclusive evidence that what science and scientists had long thought of as impossible is actually live right now but that revelation has left them guessing about how it happened.

Who knows...with so many humans now identifying as something other than what they really are, maybe they will identify and live as cabbages and we can have a greener world.

I suppose we had that little bit of hatred coming from you, Ron.

Looks like Arizona's arid air has proven overwhelming, and now dry humour is two much. .

Ron, are you suggesting that subtly implying that the evolution of humanity's application of sex and gender roles is wrong should be acceptable? That is a bad joke, if so.

I am just happy that I can now compare apples to oranges.

With regard to that choice of words, I believe this applies:

From the Free Dictionary:

INVIDIOUS: calculated to create ill will or resentment or give offense; hateful: invidious remarks.

To that ante, I will raise you a vocabulary word that applies to your "humor:" Insidious.

adjective

1. proceeding in a gradual, subtle way, but with harmful effects

[argonsagas]

A good word, and I did consider it, as it easily fits your posts in this thread, but subtlety diminished with your post progression even as you strayed farther from the thread topic itself, so it seemed clear that harm was explicitly intended, making invidious the more definitively accurate word..
