In much the same way, though, the classification of bats as mammals is something one dude came up with, while human language naturally evolved to call them birds. Which more accurately identifies their pedigree?
You missed the "and never substantiated" bit of my reply. The post I was responding to had asked for verification. Of course, there is none, so we are left with one guy vs. many.
In your scenario, we have had verification. It's called comparative genomics. And before that we had morphology.
First, I have never heard anyone, anywhere, ever call bats "birds." Second, the relationship between bats and other mammals is well established through genetics. In other words, that classification has been tested in ways that the personality types have not (that I am aware of, hence, my question).

The Bible calls bats "birds," that's probably where he got it from.
