Sydney,
I'd say all categories reflect important realities. However, many many of them aren't the realities of things being categorized, but of those doing the categorization.
Much like maps, the way we categorize tells us something about power and politics and all that jazz. (And I'll stop there before I get way, way off topic, instead of just the way off topic that we're at now.)
So while I do agree with you about going places with maps, I also am sure to always remember what my map doesn't show and that the map was made by someone with a vested interest that may not be mine.
