This is something I presently agree with. They're three or more different 
species within the genus Albertosaurus. Basically they differ from one 
another >slightly< in limb proportions/robustness (if this isn't 
ontogenetic/sexual), positions of a couple of cranial openings, shapes of the 
lacrimals, and tooth counts and shapes. Tyrannosaurus and Tarbosaurus are 
>much< different from Albertosaurus.
