On the Taxonomic Classification of minimalistici; by Athanasious Schadenpoodle; From Volume CLXIII, Number 1, of Speculative Grammarian, October 2011 — To the toiler in the full-furrowed fields of taxonomy, there can be no surprise attendant upon the discovery that a previously well-established classification has been called into question by closer scrutiny of the species involved, or by advances in the analytic mechanisms underlying the distinctions informing the taxonomy itself. The very act of assigning a token to a type bears the potential of alternate assignment, and each move toward greater abstraction does naught but amplify the range of possibilities. When the specific field one is attempting to segment is that of the family *Linguisticus*, even less surprise is possible, both because of the prevailing lack of agreement among zoölogists about the criteria to use, and because of the general sense of enervation any analysis of *Linguisticus* evokes (the latter being, perhaps, one of their defense mechanisms). So it is with a distinct sense of Unüberraschungkeit that this author has noted the recent disagreement—one could almost say a kerfuffle, were it not for the air of fraught excitement the term calls forth—concerning the proper assignment of the group initially classed as (*Neoplatonicus*) *Americoformalisticus minimalistici*.
