Ok - I've been told that HTTP 418 belongs in the 400 block because it's the same as requesting a non-existent file. This argument claims that 418 is the same as 404.

I tend to think of 418 as being more analogous to 501. You cannot put coffee in a teapot, which is a statement about the teapot.

@silverwizard I agree, "I'm a teapot" says more about the server (5XX errors) than the request itself (4XX).
