Assuming, for the sake of argument, that there is an appreciable difference between the categorization and the basis/justification on which that particular categorization was chosen, that is a well-known problem with discrete binning.

As others have noted, however, in their demand for citations, it is unlikely that any such appreciable differences actually exist.
