Claims
We exhibit a finitely generated group G that is not in C, such that G is amenable if and only if Thompson's group F is amenable.
That the smoothness of the conjugacy relation (existence of a Borel transversal) is the right notion for 'classifiable' actions and that the explicit construction of G satisfies all the claimed dynamical and group-theoretic properties without hidden assumptions on the actions.
Introduces class C of groups with smooth conjugacy for minimal line actions, proves stability and inclusion of piecewise affine groups, and exhibits a finitely generated G not in C with amenability equivalent to Thompson's F.
