Yes I am more or less saying that. My worry is that nomenclature is such a resource hog. People spend a lot of time messing with names and rules and most non-taxonomist (and many taxonomists) don't know to cite the 'usage' sensu Rich. @Jon Todd Thanks Jon.

I like the term "folksonomy". Have I missed something here because your clear explanation shows how the problem isn't nomenclature after all - its the lack of taxon circumscription, inadequate taxonomy at its core. Name+usage (sensu author X, date)is a taxon-concept and therefore needs to be labelled with a LSID that underlies the name-sensu X (per Rich Pyle). Excellent chapter! I like the term “folksonomy”.
