If you project anything into one dimension and define a threshold, you have 2 bins, and you describe it with 1 bit. The fact that you are projecting does not make it an suspicious oversimplification per se. You can then add more dimensions into study and further classify the part of reality under study, and get more fancy with your bins, but from several points of view, there will be one master bit - that is, you have a classification tree, and a first level classification. So you can for sure talk about 2 bins, irrespective that there are other ways to look at the data, or funny cases near the threshold. So for example it makes sense to talk about people from Fidji vs. people not from Fidji in some contexts, and that should not be suspicious. So really what we should be suspect is from people who constantly jump to oversimplified models of reality to make grandiose takes on reality without first spending some time in explaining why that dimension dominates over others, why that threshold in particular, and why alternatives are not so useful as this simple model.
