I don't know all the ID's either and neither does Soares or anyone else for that matter.
I've found that David is very knowledgeable on many species, but not all. We all just have
our opinions. Some may be more experieced than others, but that's all we have. My

humor ("like Siva", by an Indian friend).

I've found 32 erroneous IDs and David tells me Uwe Römer has found more!
