Of course, you're right.  I humbly retract that stupid blanket statement.  
Sorry if I offended anyone.
I considered restating it, because I meant "non-experts" as in regular, 
non-paleo people, not just non-professionals.
AND I meant "contributions" as in papers in which the technical names matter.  
But of cousre
there are so many exceptions to this (many of them on this list!).  So now I 
just want to take it back all the way.

SORRY!!! : )
