This is a topic that always sticks in my craw. People make it out to be that there's no way to separate these groups into any legitimate categories and that just isn't true with the overwhelming majority of animals (ring-species aside).

This is more a tangent than a topic specific question, but is it a valid refutation point to 'set aside' the main evidence that shows the flaw in the original claim?

I think my contention is that it's not a flaw in the original claim. Evolutionary scientists accept that continuum, but for any time there are reproductively isolated groups that can be called "species"
