Read the quotation below:

Nature is messy. Science is tentative. As long as these truths remain relevant to biological research, scientific names will continue to be revised. –R. Aidan Martin

What does this quotation suggest about how a classification system needs to function to support modern science?
Answer

It needs to loosely group similar organisms until all organisms are fully studied.

It needs to provide a strictly limited system to reduce confusion and disarray.

It must be flexible enough to adapt to new discoveries and still provide a meaningful framework.
