While Frank does seem to say some off the wall things (as we all do) this is not one of them.

Frank hit the nail on the head. It doesn't matter what you call it... just call it something and stay with it.

I'm under the impression that taxonomy was created to facilitate communication. It doesn't seem to be working or the main point has been lost.

Ironically, those that do this as a profession can't seem to come up with a single answer.

If you're ever bored, ask for a (notice i didn't say 'the') definition of a species on a Taxonomy listserv and then sit back. I did this once about 3 or 4 years ago and it wasn't pretty.
