You aren't aware of the hundreds of quotes from cladistic people about 'choosing your characters carefully' to avoid convergent features so as to get better trees?
Do I really have to post these?
And in the genome comparisons non-monophyletic but clearly homologous genes are always suggested to be horizontally transferred whether there is evidence or not. Note that I do not critize this procedure (it is highly logical) but I do point out that it is an assumption that need not be true if God created the genomes.
PS - and what's the 'more than similarity'?
