I agree that we should provide help, at least to a reasonable extent
where we are not seen as supplanting the role of the RA or Ethnologue.

The original post implied that we (or the RA) did not understand the
difference between a language and a transcription scheme, and had made a
fairly boneheaded mistake, and that does tend to rankle a bit.
