Ehhhh I see what you mean…but I definitely think it’s useful to say to new people who know much less about this than you do “put the subject over here. It’s a rule.”

Then, some of them will progress to the point where they discover that there are no Thirds Police and have the accumulated judgment to frame their subject in a truly thoughtful way. :)

It’s like describing the world in terms of “three primary colors.” It’s wrong…in a useful way.
