Hi Thomas,
Great that you discovered this! In my experience the tool can indeed be
used to surface issues with our data that would be harder to discover in
other ways.
By keeping the tool in sync with Wikidata, the idea is to encourage
users to fix the data directly there (probably by fixing the labels of
this item in your case, if you can find the correct name for this
researcher).
Cheers,
Antonin

I played a bit with OpenTapioca, and trying to
annotate a « nature
briefing » newsletter I found something weird : « Nature » is mapped not
to the scientific publication entity, but first to this weird item :
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q57439158 . Seems to originate from Orchid
and looks like a bug from an automated tool.
