I've asked this of couple of other botanists, but have only gotten a noncommittal
answer. I... wonder why variants, subspecies, etc. aren't taken more
seriously.

DNA sequencer goggles are not (currently?) good enough to detect variants and
subspecies, so many people whose DNA goggles are stuck on their heads [hope/ suspect /
assume / believe / think / behave as though / wonder whether] variants and subspecies do
not actually exist.
