This is correct. However, I have a number of modern pancake recipes that are 
sweet and non sweet all named 'Pancakes'. I really don't see the relationship 
you are basing your arguments on. I still fail to see the usefulness of such 
comparisons. They are, IMO, as much 'theory' as any other and only provide a 
'generic' redaction that would possibly contract an entire set of years and 
places and techniques but have no real reason to be believed as anymore 
accurate than another interpretation. 

I always instruct my students to prepare the individual recipe in front of 
them. If the results are tasty then their interpretation is just as accurate 
as anyone else's. Possibly more so, since they do not combine Betty Crocker's 
version with Fanny Farmer's version to produce an entirely new recipe.

perhaps I am misunderstanding your thought processes here..........
