Yes, I agree. Keep in mind that Thornless Key Lime and Mexican Thornless are the same plant.

I think you misread that. I was referring to my aunt scolding anyone who claimed a citrus seedling was identical in taste to the parent. Of course, the basis for her comparisons were either the selected individual from Rubidoux or Exeter, or a grow-out of cuttings from those trees. I suspect the orchard docents at UCR would tell you the same.
