Yes. And to imply that anyone not dancing that style is not a
milonguero (no capital letter) is an application of the principles
of Newspeak. After all, Gabriel was describing what the word
"milonguero" meant, not a certain style.

Are we now to brandish our pots of Tipp-ex(TM) to erase from history
all mention of e.g. Pepito as a milonguero, just because
nowadays, Milonguero Style describes something rather narrow?
