Because the person who is quoted in the post made his comment in the course of an old and highly contentious argument, and was referring to definitions once offered for four categories of heirloom tomatoes. The irony is that the closest match WI-55 Gold comes to one of those four definitions is if it were the result of a mystery outcross of WI-55 rather than a sport, which he instead insists that it is.
