Hummmmmm........ so you are saying the pod parent is irrefutable and the
pollen parent is suspect. Unless of course you mix the seeds, or mislabel the
pod parent, or record the pod on the wrong number, guessed at the hard to
read plant label, record the location wrong on the bed map, or find a left
over seed on the table and guess where it should go, or make a mistake in
labeling the growing pot, or error in making the seedling planting chart, or
this, that or whatever.
