Is this the specific reason that you object to biology?
I'm mostly objecting to you, and defending biology. Take for example your statement:
"Speciation is the state of affairs when two genetically related organisms are reproductively incompatible..."
That is only the case within the biological species concept, as previously mentioned. There are other methods for defining a species, and consequently identifying speciation, that may have nothing to do with reproductive isolation. Two closely related species can be reproductively compatible and interbreed, for example, producing hybrid offspring; sometimes these hybrids go on to become a new species of their own. More notably we also looked at why using the reproductive isolation criteria does not apply to bacteria, or other organisms that reproduce asexually, because every member of the population is already reproductively isolated.
So no, I'm not objecting to biology; I'm objecting to your poor representation of it.
