Greg - not aiming this at you or anyone else. Just wondering what is the value
of
scientific study if the outcome is subject to a vote?

Although I'm staying out of this animated discussion, I will tackle
this question:
All scientific publications are the subject of votes of a sort. It
is called the peer-review process. That is the kind of vote new
meteorite descriptions receive from the NomCom, which functions as a

Knowing I am new to meteorites and am still learning, does this strike
Peer review often does not take the form of majority opinion. If
only one person on a panel finds a fatal or other serious flaw, the
person serving as Editor (i.e., Judge) may ask for revision or even
