If we as natural resource professionals (aka. scientsts,
ecologists et al.) cannot agree on an acceptable definition
of biodiversity (not to mention other terms), then how do
we expect J.Q. Public to take us seriously?  I can envision
a day in the near future where we will be the subject of riddles
such as:

Q: How many ecologists does it take to define biodiversity?
A: Less than a million.

"It is not the nomenclature that matters but the clear definitions of
the contents given to terms, a truism most frequently misunderstood"
