No and yes.
Until we find that other pond we have to accept the hypothesis "the 
fish is extinct". So, we must always err on the side of caution. This 
is the reason why I suppot the South African Aids treatment campaign 
even though I feel the drugs can do more harm that good and the 
disease is far from fully understood and scientificly varifiable. The 
current working hypothesis is: HIV cause AIDS. No irrefutable 
concrete evidence has been presented to the contrary. The hypothesis 
must stand. Same with evolution theory. It just good science (a 
maintenance of scepticism even though you accept the theories).

Does robertsoni still exist in the wild along with the dodo and blue 
antelope? Who knows till some one finds them. But we still list that 
population as extinct will that chance discovery.

My vote: roberstoni is extinct as its original location. Put it in 
species maintenance. Anyone feel different? prove me wrong. I hope 
you're right.
