In a recent reply to my letter on the nomenclature of pathogenicity-related
terms (1), Hunt (3) objected to several definitions I proposed or backed, and
advocated "sticking to definitions of terms and understanding of concepts that
originated deep within our academic family tree." However, Hunt missed several
important points, making his position difficult to accept.
