Lots of epithets use interpretations of Latin that are not perfectly literal or exactly correct. This name change flips two centuries of published taxonomy, which will only serve to cause confusion and make researching historical literature more difficult. It doesn't clarify a new relationship.
These name changes for the sake of name changes serve no practical purpose, but epithets should and do. I hope the people that got their names in a journal for this go outside and do some research that is actually helpful.
Identification
ID 2 of taxon E will be an unintended disagreement with ID 1 of taxon B after the taxon swap
If thinning a parent results in more than 10 unintended disagreements, you
should split the parent after swapping the child to replace existing IDs
of the parent (B) with IDs that don't disagree.
