Phylocode has already received generous space in the scientific as well
as
the semi-popular press. The Phylocode is promoted by misinformation
about
what it is against, what the system will do, and what is the contrast
between our current system and the Phylocode. The Phylocode proposal is
not useful and does not lead to stability of concepts in classification.
Because these are the stated goals of the Phylocode, it fails in its
primary purpose.
