Time to update taxonomy?

[Gregory Zolnerowich]

Of course, DNA is not a magic bullet, it's merely another form of
data, and like all types of data, has advantages, disadvantages, and
various assumptions and problems inherent in its use. The real danger
is that administrative types and bean counters who don't really
understand systematics and biology will be attracted to the idea.

 From personal experience with some biological control workers, even
with molecular data, they are still lost without having a systematist
peer through a microscope at their specimens.

Cheers,

Greg Zolnerowich
