Let me repeat the wager:

You insist the postulation of the existence of undiscovered species is 
not only
unjustified, but has such a high probability of being wrong, that NO
ATTENTION whatsoever must be paid to their preservation. (and anyone who
thinks otherwise should sell his wife & kids to slavers and go hug trees
or some similar rational advice).

OK then.
Wager that less than 10 new species will be discovered the next 6 
months.
(By your reasoning 0 new species will be discovered, but I'm giving you
some leeway - yes, I'm that magnanimous. Even Brashears deserves a 
chance).
