Q. Why is it technically incorrect to state that two sequences are "60% homologous"?

#Bio-Informatics

Because homology is a qualitative statement of shared ancestry, not a measurement.
Because 60% is too low a threshold to prove common origin.
Because homology only applies to DNA, not protein sequences.
Because homology must always be 100% for an alignment to be valid.
