[Taxacom] Objective synonyms?

Very true, and another two types: (A) those who think they can, and (B)those who do not so profess
people are either 1A, 1B, 2A, or 2B
1Bs are a bit too modest for my taste ...
2As are obviously unfortunates ...

I had no trouble at all, and it further clarifies my understanding of 
zoological nomenclature. The taxonomist in me says there are two types 
of people in the world, those who can understand nomenclature and those 
who can't.
