Line 6:
Some forms of completionism have been criticized as misguided.
 
One is treating a {{wikt|post-hoc}}{{dead link}} category as if it were a coherent list. This often applies to the list of words in some [[dictionary]], such as the {{tp|[[nimi ku]]}}<ref>[[User:.hecko/on nimi ku|User:.hecko/on {{tp|nimi ku}}]]</ref> or {{tok|[[Linku]]}} [[usage categories]], but can also apply to other lists such as font repertoires. Learners may underestimate the arbitrariness and fluctuation of such lists. This approach also doesn't evaluate each list item on its own merits; for example, many [[Tokiponist]]s come to prefer and reject specific {{tp|[[nimi ku suli]]}} or obscure words, rather than using them all equally on the surface-level basis of category membership.
