'papa' Feynman's quote to buttress my sense of utter frustration at these 'names'

-
"You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird... So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing -- that's what counts. I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something."

- R. P. Feynman

That's the state with most of these ppl, experts at names of birds, big zero at what it is actually; and sadly, they test your bird-name skills in the exams!!!
