Pschaw, that's nothing. It's still a [insert species here].

You mean "It's still a [insert arbitrary declaration of 'kind' here]". I have observed on more than one occasion a creationist literally redefining the meaning of "species" as a means of denying observed speciation events.

It's still a [insert arbitrary declaration of 'kind' here]".

I have a 1970s-era textbook on vertebrate morphology. In the introductory chapter, "kind" is used synonymously with "taxon".

Seems to be the CRIDer usage as well.
