And this is why you take aggregate data and specify outliers. Whenever you work with living beings, you have to account for personality. It's not a mutation, it's not a factor you can control. I know some individual plants that have had traits that could be related to human personality; I'd bet that it's even the case with jellyfish. There's always going to be one being who goes against the norm. And frankly we want that, because without that factor, no one would advance or grow.
