The ZMI "add list" is actually made of up registered factories.
CMF, and therefore Plone, "lumps" content types into "omnibus" factories 
(which are the ones you see).  If you actually select "CMF Default 
Content", for instance, you will see a form with a radio button, 
including radio buttons for each of the registered classes.

However, because they allow for *multiple" content types based on the 
same underlying class, CMF and Plone also won't work correctly when 
content is added via the ZMI:  use the "CMI" views, instead.
