Obviously!

Nevertheless, the example could be relevant in either of two ways:
* as evidence of the need, "out there", for a consensus classification
* as evidence that it is possible even now to have a computer generate a
classification, even if this is done by a singularly badly designed
algorithm, with rather dreadful results.

This suggests that the idea of an algorithm-generated classification is 
something that it may not be possible to ignore, not safely
