If the purpose of the scientific name is to reflect the current
(temporary or transient as well) understanding of its taxonomic status
and relationships. Why not give each recognizable entity a different
designation, one that follows it throughout life (like a social security
number). Rather than give each taxon an alphanumeric code, we could
designate a standardized common name.
