  - Camp answers Theobald -
Theobald again is confusing what the data are with what the hypothesis demands that they be, which is a crucial error for one claiming as evidence the fulfillment of a falsifiable prediction.
Theobald has a problem grasping the difference between what is a prediction of the theory of universal common ancestry (the proposition for which he is arguing) and what are expectations based on assumptions that have been added to that theory.
Theobald understandably seeks to divert the discussion away from the accuracy of his statements that there are “no morphological gaps” in the alleged dinosaur-to-bird transition and that there is an “exquisitely complete series of fossils” for the alleged reptile-to-mammal transition.

Theobald Smith was the most distinguished early American microbiologist and probably the leading comparative pathologist in the world.
Smith's discovery (1889) of the protozoan that causes Texas cattle fever (species Pyrosoma bigeminum [now called Babesia bigemina]) and his demonstration (1889-93) of its transmission by the cattle tick paved the way for control of malaria, yellow fever, and other insect-borne diseases.
The son of German immigrants, Theobald Smith was born in Albany, New York, and educated at Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., where he received the Ph.D. degree with honours in 1881, and Albany Medical School, where he headed the graduating class of 1883.

 Smith Coat of Arms, Family Crest
Although Smith appears to be an occupational name for a flsmith, it has been suggested that when surnames came into use in Scotland, several different families simply 'took on' the name whether they had been flsmiths or not.
Thus, Smith is a classic example of a polygenetic surname that was developed in a number of different locations and adopted by various families independently.
Some of the first settlers of this name or some of its variants were: Rich Smith, who settled in Virginia in 1638; Abbigall Smith, who was granted land in Virginia in 1673; James Smith and his wife Mary, who immigrated to Boston in 1718 with their children, Abel Smith, who came to Boston in 1763.

 Development of parasite immmunology
Both himself and his respected adviser, Theobald Smith, held so strongly to the contemporary belief `that worm parasites were not able to produce an effective immunity' that he chose to develop his own terminology that would be independent of the language of the immunological tradition.
Rather cynically Smith concluded in his annual report that `perhaps the contribution of most significance is that we can definitely exclude previous infection with worms as being necessary to the production of a positive skin reaction'.
The reticence shown by both Stoll and Smith to describe the phenomena in immunological terms is demonstrative of a resilient and pervasive assumption that gut parasites were not subject to immune mechanisms.

In 1893 Theobald Smith and Fred Lucius Kilborne of the federal Bureau of Animal Industry in Washington, D.C., announced their isolation of the pathogen of Texas fever.
From this is derived the modern name babesiosis, which is applied both to Texas fever and to infections caused throughout the world by these pathogens and other members of the same genus.
Besides identifying the microorganism responsible for babesiosis, Smith and Kilborne discovered that the disease was spread by cattle ticks.
