I would make the following points.

1) Not accounting for salting and variations of hashes, one can have at most 19 resets of core biometric assuming the normal number of fingers and toes.

2) Biometric fingerprinting merely proves that you have the digit. No proof if said digit is attached to human (see Hollywood blockbuster!).

3) Susceptibility to coercion. It's much harder to refuse to swipe your finger (willingly or otherwise) at the border than to refuse to give up a password.

My counter to your second point: Biometrics kinda disables mass hacks. you cant exactly chop off a huge number of fingers*

Oh and one can also say "A password merely proves you know the password. No proof that you are the person associated with the password"

* Though since passwords can be stored in hashes, they can be harder to steal as compared to biometric data which must be stored in raw (though possibly encrypted)

Why would you need to reset biometrics (point 1)?

The equivalent of losing your password.
