There has been much discussion of the "taxonomic impediment". This phrase confuses two kinds of impediment: an impediment to end users imposed by lack of reliable information; and impediments to taxonomy itself, which vary from insufficient funding to low citation rates of taxonomic monographs. In order to resolve both these types of impediment, taxonomy needs to be revitalized through funding and training taxonomists, as well as investing in taxonomic revisions and monographs rather than technological surrogates such as DNA barcoding. © The Willi Hennig Society 2011.
关于“分类学障碍”已经有很多讨论。这个短语混淆了两种障碍：一种是由于缺乏可靠信息给最终用户带来的障碍；另一种是分类学自身的障碍，包括资金不足到分类学专著引用率低等各种情况。为了解决这两种类型的障碍，分类学需要通过资助和培训分类学家来振兴，同时投资于分类学修订和专著，而不是像DNA条形码这样的技术替代物。© 威利·亨尼希协会2011年。
