That's my understanding. I never heard of anyone talking about "kinds" vs 
"species" until people started claiming "you've never seen species" and 
others started saying "here's a list, yes."

For the same reason the nut-cases here are getting a platform to nut-case at 
others, you're also seeing the more blatant and easily-refutable claims 
being modified in a move-the-goalposts sort of way to account for the fact 
that it's trivial to look up a list of known specieation events.

Yep. The claim is now generally that God put all the information about every 
species into the prototype "kind" creature, and you're not seeing any 
change, just differences showing up, sort of like getting a tan.
