Maybe that’s the real conspiracy. What % of people know what they look like and would have been like “by golly, I believe that’s the long extinct black naped pheasant-pigeon over there”? Thinking it’s probably a low percentage, at least for the last 140 years.

I dunno. A lot of birds could probably identify way more than 5 plants.
