That's a false dichotomy. You can have a classification system that you
apply in situations in which you find it useful, and don't in situations
for which it is not useful.

Consider "things". We're perfectly happy to classify "things" by color.
Rocks. Red or green apples. Blue or black cars. But, at the same time,
there are plenty of "things" that we do not classify by color. Electrons.
The concept of justice. Classification systems.
