As long as we can officially change observable change in genetics and physicality to Variations within a kind.
But there's no such thing as a "kind." Why would we want to change the definition to include something that doesn't exist?
We've seen evolution happen right before our very eyes, both below and well above the species level to include new genera, families, and orders. Are you about to claim that a "kind" is really a class?
May I humbly suggest that we define "kind" all the way up to include all the kingdoms as being part of the "living kind", which includes all life. Then we can freely allow for such wording as "variations within a kind".
