This is a pdf-version of an ongoing exchange in ResearchGate about parsimony analysis of unaligned sequence data. For reasons explained in the text, pdf is better suited for this than Researchgate's own format to provide feedback on papers. Version two of this exchange (May 2016) contains Santiago Castroviejo-Fisher's latest arguments against maximization of homology in such analyses.status: publishe
