YEs, that's right on the money Tim. Collecting would also have to involve the most optimum circumstances and conditions for that given subspecies in the optimum habitat as well, and also the best time of the year, and over a substantial amount of time. If all these things don't coincide at the same time they are being sought, it's hard for a human to really claim they are actually rare. Brian Hubbs goes into great detail about this subject in his getula book as well.

But who really knows, they very well could be to some extent. I think there is LOTS of things yet to be discovered and proved either way about much of this.
