There are many things that we classify with fuzzy boundaries - but classify them
we do.
If the term "bean counter" is derogatory, we can use something else (e.g.
"fast").
"Fast" could be classified in terms of depth, NPS and the like.
"Knowledgable" could be classified in terms of the number of discrete pieces of
knowledge a program uses (which I think is a better measure than lines of code).
People often dislike being classified with fuzzy boundaries - but if so, they
would be hippocritical if they then classified other people in this way ("old
man", "young man", "boy", "genius", "idiot" etc).
