Change wording used by the system when downgrading an observation to an higher level taxa

I disagree (though I agree the wording is confusing). IMO, the green agreeing ID is for when the higher taxon is the limit of the identifier’s abilities. Absent an indication that the previous identifier is an expert in the group, I use disagreeing higher level IDs when there I know there is insufficient evidence in the observation to get it to a lower level, even if it could be the taxon it’s at. For example, a plant genus where five related species occur together and can only be distinguished by the flowers, and the photos only show leaves.
