When the topology-dependent permutation test (T-PTP) for monophyly returns significant support for monophyly, should that be equated with (a) rejecting a null hypothesis of nonmonophyly, (b) rejecting a null hypothesis of "no structure", (c) failing to falsify a hypothesis of monophyly, or (d) none of the above?
