They are indeed completely arbitrary, which makes "Category 6" completely meaningless/useless, just like the rest of those silly numbers. A storm with a wind speed of 130 mph is not 20% more dangerous than a storm with wind speed of 128 mph. They are equivalent dangers. It's a ridiculous system and should be abolished, but it won't, because it's good entertainment.
