Did some of the pictures you are questioning have signs with names on them? Like they were at some botanical garden? Could it be that the poster is posting mistakes made by the place they visited rather than purposefully doing it on their own? has this person responded to any inquires about their postings?
Anyone who takes very many pictures at botanical gardens, display gardens, or commercial growers ends up with at least a few that are mislabeled. It happens, even in the best of gardens (I've seen mislabeled irises at Schreiner's, as just one example) :shrug:
I know for myself, it didn't really occur to me that the plants in those sorts of places might not be labeled correctly until I uploaded some in the Database and someone emailed me to say 'Hey, your picture of X is wrong'. I've been more careful since then, but suspect most people learn the way I did, the hard way.
In a crowd-sourced database with 60,000 entries, errors are inevitable. They are not a big deal so long as people are willing to work to find and fix them.
