It's because each available taxonomic name has an "anchor" name, that is the
binomen attached to the type material. Hence, Unique Name Anchor Strings
(UNAS if you like) can be given for each name that is governed by the Code.

***
For safety's sake I had better point out that this statement is only true 
for those who regard "taxonomy" and "zoology" as interchangable equivalents.
