Yeah I dunno. Taken exactly as you've posted it here, baleen and teeth aren't the same.
I'm not sure I really care that much, but I think there's a difference.
If it looks like teeth, filters ‘barnacles’ like teeth, fits in the mouth like teeth, it’s fucking teeth. What is this woke nonsense
ain't that the tooth
The purpose of a system is what it does.
Or something, idk
sure
So you concede, sir?
No but seriously, what is the difference?
Baleen is used to filter plankton, teeth are used to grind/chew?
is this not something that's readily known?
But they both process food as the first part of the digestive tract. It seems like it's just a minor distinction that shouldn't really require hard boundaries
And thats why ducks have baleen, and are in-fact fish. Monks was right
u/microfiche will never fool me
