We should appreciate the wisdom of the Buenos Aires city fathers who obviously recognized that evolution. Why did they set the minimum of the traditional argentine tango music at 70% and not at 95% or 90%?

      Because they wanted to be sure to include all milongas (no
matter how weird) under their new regulations after that disastrous
fire a few years back.  I can assure you that these percentages had
nothing to do with "defining" Argentine culture, but rather enforcing
their new rules.
