Makes perfect sense to me.
: Hi!
: I was wondering: as the species-description starts to 'grow', shouldn't it become more probable that we vote for 2 poems of the same lineages?
: The poems all evolve towards their own 'niches'. E.G.: species A takes the land, B the water. BA salt water, BB sweet water.
: After that, it gets more and more unlikely that they will meet each other in a meaningful way. Darwin already stated that pressure between closely related individuals is the highest.
: Comparing between a thrush and a herring is less interesting than voting for a shark over a herring.
: So is there a system that biasses the second poem towards the same lineage, David?
: Is it a good idea for version 3?
: Is it nonsense?
