Poseidon was punishing Minos, I doubt he cared which way that was meted out any more than Cronus wanted no children or Hera wished Hercules did not exist... so to say that Poseidon simply willed the Minotaur to not be human but a Minotaur instead is to shoot down the theory as complete bullshit in an effort to prove it works... Um, 1) You're comparing the warring wills of multiple titans/gods (i.e. Cronus and Rhea, Hera and Zeus) to simply a god versus a human. Mythology clearly argues a vast distinction of power there as gods can create pretty much whatever the fuck they want. Ifso facto, you're the one grasping at straws here. 2) Poseidon willing the child to be a Minotaur does not inherently disprove the theory as gods are not usually involed in the "intimate" affairs of humans and creatures. 3) There was no point in mentioning the Minotaur which Minos' wife fucked nor any more point to me arguing about it, because a bull is not a mythological creature therefore falls outside the realm of distinction here.

As you yourself pointed out, the minotaur is the offspring of a human and Poseidon... which makes it a demigod... like Hercules, it was not just a regular bull, which actually makes it relevant... as I just provided examples of other unwanted offspring of gods, which the Minotaur is.
