According to this article the tracks of a tetrapod were discovered apx 20 million years BEFORE Tiktaalik. So, if he indeed he were a transitional fossil, he arrived too late to the party. Titaalik is a fish and worthy of a good ol' fish fry. Pass the tartar sauce.

No we have another problem with your source -- Casey Luskin is another notorious liar and sleaze-bag who can't be trusted.
Soo -- on to your clear and precise definition of a transitional fossil -- what is it?
Even if tracks of another tetrapod were discovered before Tiktaalik, that doesn't make this fossil unimportant.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
