Hi Andrew,

I wasn't suggesting that two species could never prodice fertile hybrids,
but only that the inability to produce fertile hybrids, when present, is
certain proof of specific distinctness, since a single species incapable of
producing fertile offspring would soon be extinct.

Regards,
Paul M.
