Fischer random is called Chess960 because there are 960 ways to set up the major/minor pieces, but is the standard setup one of these 960? If it is not, there are then 961 ways to set up the major/minor pieces

Why not?

Because it's a silly question. The answer to your silly question is very simple. The classical position is one of 960. You could research answers to your questions before to waste my time

Not neccesarily, I'm not sure if I would even call it exactly a question. If the standard setup was not one of these 960, chess960 should be called chess961.
