It seems that ICZN rules are something that are all too frequently
treated with distain if the withholding of access to holotypes (at least
in hominid systematics) is anything to go by. And a lot of these
holotypes are published in Nature and Science. If holotypes are withheld
so liberally and without consequence perhaps some now figure why even
bother designating any in the first place.
