On some level, yes, but having words to describe sub-sets can be useful too.

A "human" is just a "featherless biped", after all?

I think the Goomba Fallacy captures something helpful to me- it's helpful to know the origin of a straw man if you want to un-stuff one.

I know this is off topic but I cannot resist. It's very funny to read a comment about un-stuffing a straw man written by "scarecrowbob"

Gave me a good laugh, thank you. :)
