> This discussion is getting tiresome.
On the contrary, this is one of the better discussions Bee-L has had in a while, as it is a result of multiple people who have informed themselves about of a very well-regarded group working to create some hard metrics around a very slippery subject.
It is an attempt to tame and subdue the "purely subjective" and make it far more objective.
But one result is that many of the statements made about "trait selection" by bee producers and beekeepers are revealed to be meaningless drivel, which is not news.
Bee-L may seem tiresome, if one is not reading (or at least reading PARTS of) the actual papers referenced, but here we have a group of beekeepers who are doing the reading and doing their homework.
If any prior flat statements are seeming less flatly emphatic as a result, this is not an attack on any individual, but instead, an admission that nuance and details make simple unqualified declarative statements seem less than accurate.
That's because most all simple unqualified declarative statements about any complex subject are over-simplified.
