No, jedna věc je, že ty názvy existujou, druhá, jak moc jsou relevantní. Naprostá většina z nich pochází z knihy, která vyšla v roce 1486 (Book of Saint Albans) a už v průběhu 16. století zase upadla v zapomnění (akorát pak je někde někdo zase vyhráb, ale reálně se nepoužívají, dokonce ani zoologové zabývající se daným zvířetem ne):
"Merriam-Webster writes that most terms of venery fell out of use in the 16th century, including a "murder" for crows. It goes on to say that some of the terms in The Book of Saint Albans were "rather fanciful", explaining that the book extended collective nouns to people of specific professions, such as a "poverty" of pipers. It concludes that for lexicographers, many of these do not satisfy criteria for entry by being "used consistently in running prose" without meriting explanation. Some terms that were listed as commonly used were "herd", "flock", "school", and "swarm".
Writing for Audubon, Nicholas Lund says that many such terms are not used in actuality. When he interviewed scientists who specialize in studying specific animals, they had not heard of these terms, such as a "bask" of crocodiles or "wisdom" of wombats, being applied in their fields. Lund noted that the common plural nouns for animals were "flock" for birds and "herd" for cows, conceding that for certain animals in small groups, there was currency in usage such as a "pod" of whales or "gaggle" of geese.
