In what way do their interests differ?

This statement suggests goes down the path that leads to claiming that 
there is a constituency for every label, category or type that can be 
imagined.  While the academic exercise of looking for discernible labels 
might be interesting, it is not a useful way to find and create meaningful 
constituency categories.  The practise should be to first understand what 
differences motivate a category.

content.
