To address the "what about classification?" question:
If there were Type A1, A2, C, D, and Z people, I'd probably say "Huh. Wonder why there is no B. I guess since there are 2 As they wanted to treat them equally and not have one 'better' than the other. Fuckin Alephs." I might think something like "Wonder if there's a type E person", and I guess I could call someone who's a Z but really super cool a Y, but I wouldn't say "I bet there are 21 hidden classifications, from E to Y, and an additional super-classification that is B, and the classification system's developer explicitly matched it with the mystical 26 letters of the Roman alphabet for, uh, Reasons", because with no other information, that would be stupid. (not to, like, spoil a plot from FI1 or anything)
