"When should I agree with somebody else's identification?"

There has been so much discussion about this that there is a feature request that you can vote for: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/improve-id-function-and-name-of-agree-buttons-a-modest-proposal-not/6589. It has a good summary.

Nothing will come of it, regardless of what the button says, people will click the button. Because it’s a button. And buttons need to be clicked on.
