I appreciate your desire to stop discussing it, but can't leave your incorrect assessment of what I said unaddressed. Please know, nothing I said was at all in the area of "why I don't like genetic/molecular testing."
I explicitly said the opposite: "Any research about a plant is good, beneficial."
I didn't intend to imply that native Americans had all of the answers to anything. TY for saying that what I had written gave that impression, so I can say that was not the intention, and I don't believe my words say that. I said only that unknown quantity of knowledge about unknown plants was lost. I also did not say they had investigated every plant.
If we knew what was lost, it wouldn't be lost.
