Is Name Research an Art or a Service?

I think name research is a science AND a service. It takes skill to properly
research a name, device, etc. I do think that this 'science' gets overlooked
with respect to awarding Sable Thistles. Heralds have a very thankless job.
They work hours and hours researching names, devices, etc and get very little
thanks (if any) or recognition for that work. Also, I think many people look
at the research done in heraldry more as a service than a science. The way
to change that is to start recommending people for thistles.
I know its been done before. A good friend of mine received a thistle for
heraldry a few years back (during Rowan and Hector's reign).
just my 2 cents.
