When you’re too lazy to update the records
One disadvantage about discovering new things is that every time a new groundbreaking discovery is made, the previous assumptions need to be changed with the new one in the reference sources, textbooks, etc. This is one long and boring task. The Aussies had a similar dilemma when they discovered a mountain taller than the one supposed to be the tallest.
That’s right, they didn’t tackle the problem at all! They just avoided the entire problem by a few tweaks here and there to the names. That’s a whole lesson on how to avoid your problems.
