In animal taxonomy there are the "splitters" and the "joiners".
Splitters want to label as many animals within a species as a sub-species as they can. Joiners want to reduce the number of species within a species down to a list the no one could argue against - except a splitter.
I'm a joiner. The fellow that wrote this list is an extreme example of a splitter.
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
