Opting out of community taxon

I’m not sure if formally agreeing with an ID is necessarily encouraged by Identification Etiquette on iNaturalist - Wiki since it makes it seem like observer’s agreement with community is just as good as specialists who ID it.

For some of my observations, like this bird, I still have my rough ID because I’m no birder so my agreement with community wouldn’t be genuine.

Granted, I treat some plants differently since that’s what I identify.
