Fact:

The capacity of the Linnean system of classification to pass on complex connections to scientists all through the world is the reason for its wide acceptance.

Evidence:

Though many scientist tried to attempt the classification of living organsim, it was Carl Linnaeus who came up with a sequential classification of living organism under different taxons namely Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species.

This type of classification was considered as base and upon which modern system of classification is dependant. Hence it can be inferred that the Linnaeus system of classification will always stay the same.
