I generally agree with Think that it's silly/arrogant for amateurs to pit themselves against pros. But I have to admit you raise a great point here. We should want to understand not just whether the banding was done properly, but also why the benefits of banding in this situation outweigh the risk and stress to the animals.

Great thread! This is the kind of debate we should be having
