These books and the preceding work carry plenty of examples of what I was trying to illustrate.
Just showing that a certain plant looks like a meso-american species is like the lemon in my example.
There are European species that look equally similar, so there's the banana.
The two problems are:
- "looks like" is subjective
- one is too easily biased to prefer evidence that is in favour of one's theory
