[Taxacom] Taxonomic output study

[Richard Zander]

Most phylogeneticists I've met are fine taxonomists for identifying
species. They have fine judgment and are very well based in specimens. 

It's not the ability to identify species that is problematic, but the
way phylogeneticists present classifications.
