Recent additions to the Washington Double Star Catalog

In the past it was diificult for astronomers to be certain if a pair
of stars was just a line of sight arrangement or if the stars were
gravitationally linked.

As more information became available it should have become easier to
sort the astronomical wheat from the chaff by, for example,
considering proper motion. It seems strange that some recent additions
to the catalog are quite clearly (only) line of sight pairs and I am
unclear what was gained by including them since they are of no
astronomical significance whatsoever.
