The problem with this controversy (if it is one yet) is that the powers of
darkness will use the apparent disagreement in the taxanomic community as an
excuse to belittle the importance of conservation considerations in specific
instances. For example:
"Since there is no agreement as to whether the population of the rare
bird/frog/fish/plant in this patch of rainforest is a species, sub-species
or even just a population, then it doesn't matter that we intend to bulldoze
the place for a new restort complex".
