One of the characteristics that define a species is:
"Two creatures of the same species are able to reproduce (without human help) and have a 'child' that is fertile."
Dwarf Gourmi is trying to use this then to claim that any two individuals that can reproduce are of the same species. That is just not the case. By that logic, buffulo and cows are the same species as then can be cross bread to create a fertile offspring called a beefulo.
What he is forgetting is that there are several other factors that must also be met as well.
Dont get me wrong, i'm impressed that a 15 year old boy understood this much of the theorey, i'd say he's got about 70% of it down, unfortunatly, that last 30% is what makes the rest of it make sense.
