I agree. Honestly, when I actually remember to assign categories (as 
opposed to forgetting to change the the ones in the script I cp'ed), 
they're usually pretty random, and entirely based on gut feeling. I 
don't really have a strong understanding of why I should pick certain 
categories, I normally just look at similar scripts and copy theirs.

I definitely think more strictness and better description is required.
