How is a taco, which you have classified as a sandwich in your OP, any different from a folded open-face sandwich? This is affirmative action, isn't it?!

The open face sandwich is not traditionally folded. If you pick up an open face sandwich and fold it, for convenience, you have created a demi-closed face sandwich a.k.a. a taco.

Fair enough. You weren't very clear when Gravel Gravy introduced the idea of the folded open-face sandwich above.

I, for one, prefer to take a topological approach to defining objects such as sandwiches. Tacos and open-face sandwiches are homeomorphic, and therefore should be classified together.

It's like how one is not permitted to eat degenerate donuts (e.g. donut holes) on National Donut Day, but bagels are kosher.

A sandwich contains fresh sliced bread. That is incontrovertible, because that's what you get when you ask for a sandwich. A hamburger does not. Therefore it is not a superset.

Then you agree that when I bake fresh rolls, cut them in two, then stick seared ground beef between the two halves, I am eating a sandwich? Otherwise you've revealed a profound weakness in your supposedly authoritative means of classification.

Are Oreos a sandwich? Related: what is the minimal size at which a foodstuff can attain sandwichicity?
