Reviewers if you read a new method in a bio paper, please don’t dismiss it because package X has some related method Y. Y being in X does NOT make Y: 1. a gold standard, 2. unimprovable, 3. vetted, 4. benchmarked, 5. or even peer reviewed! Encourage innovation, we need it!

I think this idea is cool. However, I _really_ worry how people will interpret these plots at first glance. It looks like a developmental tree. But if you do this on scRNA-seq, _every cell_ will be represented by a _curve_ going up from 0 along the y axis.
