I agree. With same logic:

  • Water is not mercury
  • Water is liquid
  • Liquid is mercury
  • Water is mercury

Not all liquids are, or come from mercury, while all tretapods come from fishes. So that logic doesn’t work.

Yes but “mammals are tetrapods” is the incorrect one

I agree. All animals and plants are single celled.

‘Single celled’ is a characteristic, not a lineage. Organisms don’t necessarily have the same characteristics as their ancestors.

That would explain why water is so deadly. 100% of people that drink water will die

But their bodies contained water(possibly inherited from parent, who were addicted to water)
