I made no such claim. The fact that a human being is a human being is
no more something that would be subject to a "bio-science consensus"
than is the fact that a molecule of water is composed of two hydrogen
atoms and an oxygen atom.

I complied with the request _before_ you made it with a citation from
an embryology textbook.
Then I complied with the request _when_ you made it with multiple
concise citations from lay references.
The "tactic" involved is in rejecting the former because it's not the
latter, then rejecting the latter because it's not the former.
