All true -- and completely beside the point. Of course there are many
cases in which distinctive sibs have been introduced. I've introduced
quite a few myself -- for example: COPE GOODWIN, MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION,
PALIMPSEST, & VIVACIOUS VI. The key is that they are distinctive ones, not
lookalikes. I had three excellent blue bitones with large signals in the
final cut from that cross -- but I considered it inappropriate to introduce
more than one of them.
