>>> Should we classify C the same way?
Probably not if you want to survive. ;-)
I'm certainly agreeing that it's an interesting puzzle. One particularly curious thing is that the classification scheme is not just descriptive, but is itself one of the sensory inputs that influences behavior. So it's both a puzzle of understanding human behavior, but also coupled to a social phenomenon.
I don't know of a society that doesn't classify C differently, so it may have some survival advantage.
