The reason that labels are used is that they make life easier. If every
time you ran into a computer you had to find out what it was from the basics
you would never be able to use it effectivly. You would be spending all you
time refiguring it out.
The reason that it is useful to label people is that it makes it a little
easier find a place to begin from. Labels are useful if you realise that
they are labels and not the person. They give you a general map of the
teritory.
The problem with people who don't want to label anything is that they
really have no answers for the problem so they negate the question by saying
it is not a real question.
