Observation should report the name of the link layer, otherwise a peer
may think the author logically extends what s/he sees on one link layer
to another (instead of experiencing same phenomena on each link layer
individually).

The scientist orders the frog to jump, who so does.  Then cuts its legs,
orders it again to jump; the frog obviously can't jump.  Scientist
deduces the frog can no longer hear.  However, if the order were issued
to the legs (instead of ears) in the first place then maybe the false
conclusion could have been avoided.

I agree one may have observed this behaviour.  I don't agree it is an
often observed behaviour - I didn't.  I often observed wifi works ok in
the types of deployments described in the draft (R1,R2,A).
