Your V8/V6 analogy with cemented cylinders is pretty weak. A much better one would be a V8 with cylinder deactivation technology. In this case one could ask the question: If the engine is never pushed hard enough to activate the last two cylinders is it a V8 or a V6?. I know how most would answer this question.
Regarding classes, you state operation "near" midpoint. What is "near"? How far can one deviate from near before it's no longer A? The problem with these definitions is ambiguity and there seems to be a reluctance to address it.
