On what basis is something a "genetic mistake?"

On the basis that their genetic mutations cause them to not be a male or female. Or that they are born with 12 toes, or 1 leg, or a thousand other genetic aberrations. Those are all genetic mistakes.

what mutation? Which gene is mutated? What determines if it's a mutation?

No, those are birth defects, not necessarily genetic defects.
 
rahl said:
Well, of course they are. As all mammals are binary. Generic mistakes do not change this.

This is like claiming that human beings are right-handed because only 10% of the population is left-handed, or, better, that all human beings favor one hand because the percentage of ambidextrous people is very small.

Sure it is. By your standard, a small percentage of the population with a particular trait (like left handedness or even red hair) is "abnormal."
 
Right. So you either don't understand what "round" means, or you don't think it actually exists in the real world.
