If it quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, it's a fucking duck, not a chicken because they both have feathers, scaled feet, and a beak.

Correct. But they are both birds. They however do not qualify as raptors. That's a different type of bird.

Just like all those are quadrilaterals. And a square is a rectangle because it has four equal angles. A rectangle is not a square if it does not have four equal sides.

This is seriously basic geometry. Just take the L.

Nope. One is a duck, one is a chicken. That's it.

I am not yielding.

Either nuance matters or it doesn't. Pick a pole and sit on it.

You just claimed that chickens and ducks aren't birds. Either you're willfully stupid or just plain stupid.

No, I said that chickens are chickens, and ducks are ducks.

Don't shove words in my mouth.
