It's annoying Thomas becuase if you remember or reread my post I never question that you consider them the same species. Lumping and splitting has nothing to do with it. It's purely semantics, Darwin called subspecies varities/races/types whatever you want to call them there are phenotypic differences between them And if there are heritable phenotypic differences that means there is a genotypic difference between populations and that's all "subspecies" designation means.
