If you are doing a phylogenetic tree of all mammals its useful to include outsiders to "root" the tree, for example repitles and amphibia, but just some not all
The paper's authors clearly said that they didn't have the resources or connections to explore other filled pasta, so they chose to focus mostly on Mediterranean and select other filled pasta shapes. They never meant it to be exhaustive. It literally says:
The addition of other filled pasta and dumpling varieties from across Italy and Eurasia and the inclusion of other informative characters that can add further resolution to the phylogenetic inference are the next steps in this research. Evaluation of elements such as taste and methods of consumption would require surveys and experimental design and can perhaps be considered in a subsequent, more inclusive study on all Eurasian pasta ripiena.
I have my own issues with the paper, but they never claimed to have mapped all filled pasta shapes in the world.
bitch please academic language is literally moon runes, im not putting more than max 1 min of effort into skimming a whimsical soy paper on a shitposting website
they never meant it to be exhaustive
yeah ik my point was that they needed to grovel more in their discussion section about failing to include the sheer variety of chinese dumpling types
never fucking mind my apologies, i thought this was the shitposting comm and could get away with low IQ shitpost, not the science comm
*never never fucking mind, the paper was written by actual italians, they do indeed need to grovel more in the discussion section just for adding to their shithole's navel gazing admiration for their mediocre overhyped cuisine
china has more than muh wonton, reddit paper
Its used as outgroup,
