Isn't the term "Missing link" supposed to be some sort of PR word and not really of any meaning, scientifically?
EDIT: Wiki'D.

A popular term used to designate transitional forms is "the missing link". The term is especially used in the regular media, but is inaccurate and confusing, partly because it implies that there is a single link missing to complete the picture, which must be discovered. In reality, the continuing discovery of more and more transitional fossils is further adding to our knowledge of evolutionary transitions.

I think they mean that there isn't just one Missing Link, but just more and more pieces in the fossil record to build a neverrending picture, because the species changes ever so slighty with every generation, that only by looking at lots of different examples, we can kinda see where they're the same, but different.
But hey, I'm an idiot, so don't ask me.
Where's Bullet Magnet?
