No no offense taken dude, like I said, I just want to separate what we can take as truth from what is conjecture, and when it comes to the aspect of “skunk” expressions or genes or whatever I think it’s pretty clear the supposed shift from prevalence to disappearance has very little to do with Sam, or at least little more than tangentially.
I mean if you have an axe to grind against the guy, all the more reason to keep your information straight.
Like I said, no dog in this fight, but if I did I’d point out that by saying he erased “skunk” you are both playing to his ego and slandering him by giving him credit for something he didn’t do (nor did any one person have the capacity to). Neither of which helps you argument against him.
Whatever the truth is it’s messy and a double edged sword, because many of the modern varieties contain skunk 1 or haze in the lineage, and regardless of anything else he gave those to the Dutch banks and breeders that disseminated them and their progeny to growers across the globe. It’s life, not a movie, it’s bound to be messy and grey and not tied up in a tidy little package
I am on the side of logic and reason. From everything I have seen I know enough to be suspicious of Sam and not trust him, but the same can be said for most humans I encounter.
Lol. I normally don’t like to get into stuff like this too much, just really didn’t want to give credit for creating and destroying skunk to a man, because it is much larger than a person. People are just creatures, same as the other creatures on this planets. Us, ants, all just tiny specks in this massive universe. Some creatures do amazing things.
Plants, the planet, the universe, they were here long before us, and will be long after.
