Not the point. Huge difference between nomenclature and scientific classification.
Fish and mammals both swim in the ocean, but fish are always fish and mammals are always mammals.
If you have gills you are a fish, if you have a blowhole and lungs, you are a mammal, regardless of nomenclature.
Both are referred to as dolphins. Deal with it.
BTW - that difference isn't so different.
nomenclature
