Yes, but consider we are discussing "original" props and this is the Replica Prop Forum - not an obvious resource for a newcomer to search out information to learn the provenance and history of a prop marketed as original and authentic and offered for sale by a dealer or auction house that does not sell prop replicas.
I know the RPF includes hobbyists that do incredible research on original props, but that's because I was a member here before I ever bought an original prop.
Just remember, everyone has to start somewhere. And the Movie Prop Forum is not publicly viewable and registration has been closed for some time, so that is not a resource available to newcomers either.
I totally understand where many of you are coming from, but I try to come at things from a consumer/hobbyist perspective and I talk with complete newcomers to the hobby all the time.
As an example, I love Star Trek but it is not something I specialize in at all in terms of authenticity of original props. If you are not a member, go register for the Trek Prop Zone and pick a prop and do a search and you will find the sheer amount of information available to be staggering. This is a wonderful thing but... we all forget how "inside baseball" our discussions are and it can be highly challenging for newcomers to even know where to start, even when their is a wealth of information available.
I'm not against the notion of coming up for a more accurate name for a prop at all - I just don't think collectors who don't own something calling it something different will catch on to those selling and buying them. Hence, if you collectively begin calling it the "Hoseback Helmet", for example, I'd recommend calling it the "Hoseback Helmet ("Prototype" Stormtrooper Helmet)".
Anyway, I'm sure I've overexplained myself, so carry on.
