b'On the Taxonomic Classification of minimalistici; by Athanasious Schadenpoodle; From Volume CLXIII, Number 1, of Speculative Grammarian, October 2011 \\u2014 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 zo\\xf6logists 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 Un\\xfcberraschungkeit that this author has noted the recent disagreement\\u2014one could almost say a kerfuffle, were it not for the air of fraught excitement the term calls forth\\u2014concerning the proper assignment of the group initially classed as (Neoplatonicus) Americoformalisticus minimalistici.
