Maybe I just didn't read the right things. Perhaps you have a suggested reading list, re. aircraft id's?
Don't "Sir" me, I work for a living.
Golly-Gee, pick up any civil aircraft encyclopedia (Jane's etc) and knock yourself out.

Or how about you tell me, with just a glance, how to differentiate between a Cirrus and a Columbia? Or how about more common aircraft you probably come across on a day to day basis - let's say Cessna 182 v 172 - without looking at the naming on the plane, that is? And now, to make it all the more difficult, how differentiating about a 172 Reims Rocket from a C182?
I don't see any conflict between those two statements the OP made....
When was the last time you saw a Reims Rocket?
