I'm glad to hear that *somebody* here thinks it is a mistake (because it really is). I keep mentioning it here, and Hansen has published extensively on it, but everyone keeps saying "Well, my friend used it, and he got tenure, so it must be OK". The paper I saw was this one: Hansen, Thomas F & Bartoszek, Krzysztof (2012). Interpreting the evolutionary regression: The interplay between observational and biological errors in phylogenetic comparative studies. Systematic Biology 61 (3): 413-425. ISSN 1063-5157.
