My point is that granted it would be a shtickle dochek in the gemaras if murex trunculus is not the chilazon, but it seems that the proofs using kala ilan related arguments are not ironclad. All things taken into consideration, there is a very strong case for the murex trunculus but I don’t know if it can be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. But then again I don’t think it has to be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt; if anything it has to be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that it’s not the chilazon.
