Because there are users who aren't "high-level taxonomists", but ignore the guidelines and try to classify creatures anyways. As Dorite said, some people could be less interested in reading the guidelines if they see a lot of text in them, leading to more improper classifications. And then there are trolls that would actively break the rules in purpose.
