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

Welcome to the forum! This is rather controversial and has come up many times before, so you may be interested in the following threads (among others):

Why do you find the need to agree in the first place? If you’re interested in getting observations to Research Grade status, that is not the goal of iNat and incorrectly IDed RG observations perpetuate data inaccuracies outside iNat (GBIF for example). Even experts make mistakes, and we shouldn’t make it harder for them to change their minds. Personally, I cannot in good faith select “Agree” if I don’t actually agree that’s what it is. Sometimes there’s only one person who can ID something and that’s OK.

Also, many users are very willing to explain their IDs if you would ask them. I love explaining things more in depth, but I make too many IDs to do this with every single one. It would be great if people were learning from the experts so that the experts aren’t the only ones IDing.
