This is where the classification system fails. It may well be a
hunter under the current definitions, but nobody rings it like that.
The front eight do one bit of work, the back four do something else.
Thinking of it as a method with 9 and 10 as the hunt bells is such a
strange way of thinking about it. Why would we want to hold on to a
classification system that forces us to think of things in such an
unnatural way?
