There absolutely are correct and incorrect ways of partitioning data into groups. Human genetics is no exception.

There are correct ways to group but there is no correct group size. Clustering algorithms inherently require some choice of sensitivity. There is no single correct choice for a given set of data, it all depends on what you’re trying to accomplish.
