How do you handle multiple identifications on the same observation

This thread looks like it is moving toward academic elitism. I’m going to push back a bit in that someone who is familiar with a given species may reach the point of identifying it by gestalt (“it just looks right”), even if the image does not show the specific features that an “expert” would need. We have discussed this before, for example, in threads like If we took an iNaturalist approach to real life.
