The Myth of the Alpha Wolf

Sure, how about "wolves are basically large dogs" ? That is provably false. If you deny that, you're just ignorant of the research.

Dogs might have descended from wolves and can even interbreed with them, but they're not the same.

At a basic level, wolves are closer to dogs than they are to humans or bears. “Basically” doesn’t mean “equivalent.”

I’m trying to let the insults roll off me, but saying I’m horse shit and ignorant for two things I didn’t say is a bit much. I think that’s enough HN for the day. Have a nice weekend.

If you had just said that, you wouldn't have gotten all those insults. Language.

This would also apply: "lions are closer to house cats than they are to humans or bears." So would you say "lions are basically large house cats" ?
