Why identifying ‘by range’ is a problem

I agree that not every taxon is an issue with using range. Since I posted this, I tried to notice when I was assuming ID by range and it remains an easy short-cut or necessity. I think my primary concern is when the error bubble is so large as to encompass multiple taxa and when the way location is added compounds that by mis-placing the pin. In some very few cases, this likely generates error in the ID process. Otherwise, location is essential for IDs in many many instance.
