But then Zeiss Otus is the very "corner-to-corner sharp @ WO lens with a good to excellent aberration correction." And you said it's not clinical.Clinical = Lack of character.
If all lenses start to be telecentric and "corner-to-corner sharp @ WO lens with a good to excellent aberration correction", then yes, all will be clinical.
Planar or heliar designs aren't clinical. Distagon is clinical.
Also, it's hard to just base on the design name to swiftly label a lens as clinical or not. I know from my own experience that the Distagon 28/2 "Hollywood" is full of characters , same as the Distagon 35/1.4. I have not heard anyone saying those two are clinical.
