Nothing manevolent intended or assumed - just a different point of view. Each observer has their own set-up that will suit their way of doing things. One just needs to be careful when declaring something is better or is best that it may not suit all tastes.
In the work I do credit goes to the observer who's data first uncovered a probable binary detection and is assigned by the PI. This may not be the PO (principal observer). but everone who participates in obtaining data during the discovery apparition is credited in order of amount of contributed data. The PI always gets second credit. Each field will have its own rules. My comment was based on what appears, in some cases,(both amateurs and pros are guilty of this) to be more effort put into ensuring they get credit than ensuring the quality of the observations being made. Good science is good observing....
Cheers
