I agree we will call them as we see them, they will call them what they see, then change to what they don't see, then again change the name.

I think clumping them all into one is silly when you can look at them and see a difference. I don't call every palm tree a coconut tree, or a timber wolf a red wolf.

What I wonder is why they always change the names of them, yet we in the hobby still use the names we have used for years now.
