Even if the machine is made on time, has the capability as stated (wished for), when will the consensus be achieved on which species are which (or not) and what name to call them?

" By 2011 the team declare they will have recorded every bird species in the world in their database and in doing so will discover a further 1000 bird species previously unrecognized to science as a result of splitting from known species."
