Intellectual dishonesty from All About Birds?

Per a now-deceased friend of mine, All About Birds became, on his recommendation, my go-to site for identification of, and information about, birds. Ahead of Audubon.

But recently, while Net-surfing about the Lord God Bird, the extinct (sic) ivory-billed woodpecker, I came across some intellectual dishonesty by AAB.

It relates in part to the "similar species" slider it has at the bottom of the page about each bird.

For the ivory-billed, it lists very similar pileated woodpecker among similar species, but also the red-headed.

And, for the pileated? Also on the red-headed, but NOT on the ivory-billed. (The only other similar species for it is a crow. That's laughable.)

On every alleged (sic) siting of the ivory-billed for 25 years or more, one counterclaim has been that the spotter has actually seen a pileated.

And so, AAB, who had a Cornell prof behind the alleged sitings in Arkansas 20 years ago, this is a way to cover up. Don't admit the two birds are similar.

And I could have sworn when I first saw this in May that the pileated was NOT a comp for the ivory-billed, either. Because, as it, it doesn't make total sense.
