No, I mean, define *kind*. Specifically. And scientifically.
Websters, Second College Edition, New World Dictionary of the American Language
----kind----
1. [Archaic] (a) origin (b) nature (c) manner; way
2. a natural group or division (the rodent kind) sometimes used in compounds (human-kind)
3.essential character
4. sort; variety: class
Is that specific and scientific enough for you.
Because species is used now as the word of the day does not cancel out the word "kind" as a scientific word. Because you do not want to acknowledge it as a scientific word does not void it. Definitions 1(a), 2, and 4, clearly state it in a scientific way.

"No, I mean, define *kind*. Specifically. And scientifically."
*Kind* has no scientific meaning at all.
" Is that specific and scientific enough for you."
No, it's incredibly vague and has nothing to do with biological classification.
" Because species is used now as the word of the day does not cancel out the word "kind" as a scientific word."
Yes it does.
