Sharks are real fish, while dolphins are counterfeit fish and degenerated mammals without legs. Furthermore, doplhins are foul critters who rape and kill for pleasure.

It's true. They're evil.
I generally forget to say, so if it's relevant and I don't mention it--I'm from Southern Michigan and speak Inland North American English. Yes, I have the Northern Cities Vowel Shift; no, I don't have the cot-caught merger; and it is called pop.

A sardine has more in common with us than with a shark. Phylogenetically. No true fish either.

I know that humans and sardines have more in common than humans and sharks, but surely sardines and sharks have more in common than sardines and humans.

It depends on how you define "in common". Humans and sardines share a common ancestor, that isn't shared with sharks; but this ancestor and sharks share a common ancestor.

But even this isn't easy to define, I think. And since sardines, being ray-finned fish, are very advanced, I would think that their genome is as far away from that of a shark as ours is.

"Fish" is paraphyletic. When defined correctly, mammals are also fish. Axalotls also have gills instead of lungs, and are cold blooded, and don't have amniotic eggs. Are they fish with fingers?
Axolotls are amphibians. They are capable of metamorphosis and shed their skin, but classification of axolotls is not the topic of conversation, right? These animals all have many similarities, but they are very different compared to humans. The original proposition that sardines are closer to humans than to sharks was yours, so the burden of proof is also yours. Instead of simply trying to disprove my counter-arguments, please instead offer proof of your own proposition.
(P.S. This discussion is great for coming up with new vocabulary)

It's not about "proof", as it is about "what science says about this". And science says that what I said is correct: (URL). As you can see, both humans and sardines (Otomorpho) are Osteichthyes, and have a common ancestor. This means that we are more similar than either and the shark!

You are right and wrong. Science only says things are true if there is proof of those things, so proof is the key point. Sardines and humans do indeed have a common ancestor that sharks do not have, but this is only proof if the average lifespan for all species involved and the rate of evolution are identical. Obviously, that is not the case.

We have more in common phylogenetically; they have more in common morphologically.

I can see why you think that, them having a fish-like shape etc., but their morphologies differ as much as the morphologies of a shark and a dolphin differ.
