I like two months of classics and don't see a need to define "classic"; we've done well enough without a definition already.

The kindest interpretation I can put on the assertion in the top post is that you couldn't be bothered to go back a page and check. Did you just assume that everyone must agree with you? Because surely you couldn't have deliberately tried to mislead everyone about the nature of the consensus?
