Do you find the Concept of Quadras Limiting?

Alpha here. I've grown to see the widsom of quadra values. Still, I will defer to IEIs when it comes to advise on serious life issues.

Classification systems by definition creates limited numbers of categories, in which to place observations, thus making real world data easier to comprehend. Quadras are broader classifications that seem to complicate matters rather than clarify anything. Socionics hasn't progressed beyond classification systems, and plausible models cannot be made from IEs because they don't help to define the fundamental information handling processes; they're too coarse. The current models talk of functions but don't really define them in scientific terms. An IE is an imprecise classification and doesn't in any way constitute an actual function; it only indicates that there must be one that has yet to be defined. Quadras aren't the only things in Socionics that are limiting.
