I didn't say the AKC and others recognise the pit bull, I said it is the Amstaff...
Unfortunately, you haven't got a clue what you're talking about and, if you're using Wikipedia as your source, then I'm not surprised. It's too late to explain and you wouldn't be interested, which is of course your prerogative.

As far as I'm aware the American Kennel Club doesn't recognise a specific breed breed American Pit Bull and it's a term used for a few very simar breeds including the American Staffy. Wikipedia seems to agree with me too.
You may not care for grouping of similar dogs but equally I'm not interested in trying to specify out one type of dog bred for fighting from another very similar one especially when there's been so much mixed breeding. You know what I mean by pit bull type, a small pure breed English staffy looks slightly different but when they get bigger and leaner it doesn't matter the exact genetics, they're essentially a pit bull. American bulldog, American bully, American XL, whatever, they're all from the same root and all have the same potential to kill.
