Linguistic problem?

There’s a very long discussion here: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/change-wording-used-by-the-system-when-downgrading-an-observation-to-an-higher-level-taxa/3862

Not everyone in the community agrees on how these buttons should be used. I would say that if the observer has a photo that doesn’t show the required feature, but a description that says something like “I saw the yellow band on the antennae”, it would be reasonable to use the green button. If the observer didn’t put anything in a comment/description and you ask them about the antennae and they either don’t respond or respond that they don’t know/didn’t see, then the orange button is appropriate.
