The 'this' that I referred to as silly was the equality part of the claim, 
not that that Boo has *some* relation to Python.  I tried to explain by 
continuing ...

I did not and do not dispute that Boo has some (lesser) degree of 
relatedness.  I continued by suggesting that it was about the same as for 
Prothon.  That there are differences in degree of relatedness was my point.

Nor did I or would I claim that the lesser degree of either is so low that 
neither should ever mentioned here.
