> Both archaea and bacteria, in the three-domain model referenced in the article, are prokaryotes.

I suppose it depends on which model you use, and as discussed they seem to vary and be in flux right now, but the three domain model I learned was prokaryotes, archaea, and eukaryotes - the first two being different domains.

> Yes, "with eukarya containing all multicellular organisms" does not mean "all eukarya are multicellular organisms" it means "multicellular organisms are a subset of eukarya".

We agree. I don't grasp your point?



> We agree. I don't grasp your point?

your original comment didn't refute the quote, but one needs to squint hard to see that you didn't refute it.


I wasn't trying to refute it; I was adding information: The quote didn't mention or imply that there are also single-cell eukaryotes, so I added that detail.

Not everything is an argument or attack.


I know that you weren't trying to refute it, and I know that it's not an argument or attack.

> with eukarya containing all multicellular organisms

Single cell eukaryotes also exist

My point is that your statement here looks like a refutation to most, even though I know you did not intend it to be.


I see. Communication is tricky.
