You know I don't try to challenge you when it comes to biology, but this isn't a biology debate. The way I see it, considering the meaning of both the words "hybrid" and "intergrade", the use of the latter is logically incorrect, even if the science community has chosen to use it to describe hybrids produced within a species and out of the regular context. By no stretch of the imagination could these hybrid be considered transitional forms.
