Why do some serious "power users" add so many unknown observations?

As someone who generates a lot of unknown observations:

  • I had a bad data connection in the field
  • I don’t feel like typing out sci names with my thumbs
  • It was cold and I was wearing gloves
  • I’m uploading a ton of observations and plan to use /Identify to add IDs because it’s so much easier to do it there than on the uploads page
  • I know it’s between a couple species and will key it out at some point
  • I collected a specimen and plan to key it out at some point
  • I don’t even know what kingdom it belongs to and adding a “Life” ID seems silly
  • It’s an easy taxon that I don’t personally know but do know the community will prob ID in like 2 minutes
  • I’m feeling lazy
  • I forgot
  • sorry : )
