Wow! This needs some re-reading and thinking through. Some interesting insights brought together here. How does your theory affect missions who prioritise 'Third World' countries? Might some supporters' financial and prayerful interest be diverted elsewhere if they think Argentina is not TW after all and can perhaps therefore manage without 'help', in the way that the West can? (Huh! Yes, I know that shouldn't be the criteria, but I suspect it is in some cases. Pulling the heart-strings is a major factor, regrettably.) Might that be another reason why the label stays put?

Not sure if that makes sense, but maybe someone else will latch on to this?
