First of all, I'm starting to get really sick of your internet slang sarcasm. Drop it. If you can't have an intelligent debate without resulting to such tomfoolery, then don't bring up the subject. You lose a lot of credibility when people are trying to reach a reasonable conclusion and then you come in acting like a five year old. /rant

Now then, onto the topic of discussion:

I don't care what your interpretation is. I don't care what your "brain" is telling you about the situation, whether you're connecting dots, or whatever the heck you're doing to come to these crazy, off the wall conclusions, but what I do care about is what the manga says; because that is the author's mouthpiece.

I can't understand why, for the life of me, in one chapter the Sage would refer to his mother's power as that of the Sharingan, and then in the very next chapter and for three chapter following it Madara, Naruto, Sakura, and now Black Zetsu too all call Sasuke's eye the Rinnegan. If Kishimoto wanted to call Kaguya's eye a Rinnegan, he had an open door to do so in the very chapter before he introduced it. But he didn't. He called it a Sharingan. Yes, I realize that you want to corrupt (yes, corrupt) the meaning of "power of the Sharingan" as some secret code equating to the "Rinnegan", even though to do so is contrary to the very logic you claim you're using, and that's all fine and dandy but; Furthermore, as Omnibender pointed out, the word used in the original Japanese is "doryoku" which I have found being used in place of "dojutsu" (referring to said person's collective eye powers) all the way back to when Tobi was explaining to Sasuke the mechanics of Itachi's Transcription Seal: Amaterasu technique. Its referring to her "eye power" the Sharingan, not some hidden allusion to the Rinnegan.
 * 1) Its not a fact. Its your opinion of what those words mean. There's a difference.
 * 2) Simply, it was not stated. Kishimoto could've easily said the "power of the Rinnegan" (he's had no qualms with doing so before).

The fact of the matter is, as someone has already said, that this pointless to argue (as you were also told by two others, I believe), because its not being changed until either the tankoban changes it, or it is further elaborated on in the manga because, at this point, that is all that's been told to us.

If that makes you angry, great. Go write Kishimoto hate mail, but it does not belong on the articles of this wiki.

Capish?
