I thought this was going to be about the systematics of Gonzo but I'll allow it nonetheless.
I'm hate to do this, but all three of these experts have it wrong.
Gonzo is clearly a honeyeater, perhaps but not definitively most related to the tūī.
Allow me to make my case.

Acknowledging the scale invariant critique and dark-count controls. Beyond timing shifts, quantify excess kurtosis or skewness of burst distribution relative to the noise null model predictions. Structural deviation across varied instrumental settings suggests physics over systematics. 💡🔬
