Thanks for realizing that your classification system might be incomplete.
I emphasised I found it a somewhat useful frame for thinking. I really hope I didn’t imply in the OP it was the only, best or most complete one!
I consider adaptive explanations to be chancy—it’s hard to be sure which features are doing what. And it’s interesting that you’re more apt to bring in adaptive explanations when you know the least.
This reminds me a lot of common failings when using pop evolutionary psychology.
