This reminds me of the old joke: There are three kinds of mathemeticians -- those who can count and those who can't.

Fact: your divisions are ones that make sense to you within the bounds of what you know and within the bounds of what seems sensible to you.

Fact: you might get a better picture if you took a few anthropology courses and learned about humans and cultures.

Fact: An opposite is a unique construct that is a complement to another construct. So what's the opposite of "planet"? Or asteroid? Or amoeba? Or mesenchyme?

The point being that you've tried to reduce things to a "black and white" and while it makes sense in your world belief system, it has a lot of problems for those who have read more deeply in certain areas.
