Sure... I agree. Not my point though, which is this: What makes Dark Shark
the "original" name, or the "correct" name rather than BSB?

I don't know.

That wasn't my point though, which is on this: on the basis that the Santa
Fe Super Chief is incorrectly named, so are the Skull's Eye Schooner, Black
Seas Barracuda and Dark Shark. And far easier to spot (well, maybe not the
schooner, but certainly the two fish names).

Well sure. I agree!

But, see, I'm not arguing with *you*!!!

I'm disputing the assertion that BSB is the "wrong" name but Dark Shark is
the "right" name which was made upthread. I see no prima facie basis for
that assertion, and was asking for some support for it from the person who
made it, or anyone else either for that matter.

You seem to be making a rather different point, one which(once again I
repeat) I am not disputing, but one which, when reasserted by you, is
unfortunately not helping get my question answered. Perhaps that's your
intent, I can't really say. Perhaps there's no justification for the
assertion I am questioning at all?
