I very much disagree with this statement. To equate name collecting with 
genealogy is more than simplistic it is wrong.

Genealogy encompasses family groups and their ancestry, the movement of 
families across the globe, the history and deveopment of surnames, and I could 
go on.

I have nothing against name collectors, be please do not endow them with the 
title genealogists.

I regard my own family tree as Family History, but my One-Name study as 
genealogy.
