In normal life, things don't get classified into groups until there 
are enough examples of things people both want and use to reveal a 
sensible characterisation.  In the meantime they are just one-offs.

In the past the MC has  often had just one or two examples of 
something new, which very often doesn't catch on, and yet the 
obsession with classifying has resulted in great efforts at 
classification, with no consequence other than to tarnish MCs 
reputation..

All that is needed is a residual category of "not (yet) classified".  
Some innovations may turn out to be important and then do eventually 
get a classification characteristic and corresponding label, whilst 
the rest won't ever get classified.
