No, my statement, which I do not find ridiculous at all, is that both the blastocyst stage and four-and-a-half years old are stages of human development. That should be quite clear from a plain reading of the original statement.

Don't you agree that this statement is true?

I do not confer equivalence to a blastocyst and four-and-a-half year old. They are obviously different. Likewise a sigle spermatazoa is different, even from a blastocyst. This should be apparent even to the casual observer.

Oh. Ok. So we're back to the unremarkable observation that human reproduction and development involves a lot of "stages." I am, of course, happy to agree with that, but I don't find it any more insightful than an observation that weather involves a lot of "patterns."
