It becomes even more problematic when this happens:
https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/leading-subspecies-ids-should-change-the-obs-taxon-like-leading-ids-of-other-ranks/139
For example:
First ID: Plantae
Second ID: all the way down to subspecies, but the observation is stuck at Plantae
Me: Well I only know the genus, but I will put that (without disagreement) to get it out of Plantae.
Everyone: what are you doing?!
Me: just getting it out of Plantae
Everyone: No, you knocked it back to genus
Me: I didn’t, I swear…
