[Crossposted to lugnet.admin.database & lugnet.general, with followups
set to lugnet.admin.database]
* Is LEGO set 1843 (a '96 Space/Castle value pack) actually a value
pack containing two sets? Or is it one set with instructions to
build two different models?
* Is 6426 Super Cycle Center a single set? Or 5 mini-sets that
together form a larger set?
* Are 1728 Crystal Crawler and 6145 Crystal Crawler the same set?
Or are they slightly different sets?
* Are 2150 Train Station and 4554 Metro Station the same set with
different colors? Or are they different sets because they have
different set numbers and different colors?
* Is 6816 Cyber Blaster really an Exploriens set as TLG claims it to
be on the packaging? Or is it really a U.F.O. set?
* Are Star Wars sets space sets?
* Are Launch Command and Space Port sets space sets? Or are they
town sets?
* Is the Trains product line part of town? Are Time Cruisers and
Time Twisters part of town? Are Boats part of town?
* Is Ninja its own theme/system with sub-themes? Or is it part of
Castle?
* Is Paradisa its own theme/system? Or is it part of Town?
* Is there still officially only one sub-category under Adventurers?
Or are there two now?
* Is a 1x1 LEGO PRIMO brick with 4 DUPLO studs on top a PRIMO piece?
Or is it a DUPLO piece?
* Is a 4x4 plate with only 4 studs on top (and the rest flat like a
tile) a plate? Or is it a tile?
* Are Brown and Green 2x2 round plates more special than other colors?
Or are all colors equally special?
If you're the type of person who loses sleep over questions like these,
or if you simply strong have opinions one way or the other, come join the
discussion over in lugnet.admin.database -- fuzzy categories and LEGO
theme taxonomy.

p.s. The answer to all of the above questions is: "Yes, to some degree."
