you carry the assumption that the accepting/producing system is a continuous spectrum (or at least divisible collection) of emphasis, rather than a discrete grouping. there is nothing to support this assumption in the classical literature on accepting/producing subtypes (that i have ever seen, anyway) -- rather, every single description or bit of classical material that i've seen on the matter of accepting/producing subtypes has treated them as simply descriptions of accepting and producing categories, and nothing more.
indeed, there are people who have done work with accepting/producing subtypes conceptualized very much as a discrete grouping -- anything the ashtonian people do, for instance, holds a very different and very discrete concept of subtypes.
all of this is not to suggest that your system is inherently wrong for assuming this type of spectrum, or that i agree with the ideas dealing with discrete subtype groupings (obviously, with regard to the ashtonian system i think it's completely full of shit and am not so keen on any other system of subtypes either).
but, the point is, there is nothing to suggest that the assumptions you're working with are "essentially" classical accepting/producing subtypes; that is merely nonsense.
