It's almost like categorisation is a social and language technology that keeps getting applied because it helps communicate concepts without having to spend the first half of the conversation redefining all your terms.

If common definitions described by a collective in a list is authoritarian, does this make dictionaries authoritarian as well?

Another example would be music genres, and sub-genres within those.
