I don't know that you're trying to do here.  Your example doesn't refer
to the "current instance" of the type.

I don't think your program will even compile.

Science is, foremost, a method of interrogating reality: proposing
hypotheses that seem true and then testing them -- trying, almost
perversely, to negate them, elevating only the handful that survive to
the status of a theory. Creationism is a doctrine, whose adherents are
interested only in seeking out data that support it.
