Lfad over time we as a continuous community evolve more delineated
taxonomy that results from repeated iterations of davar mitoch davar.

EG In YD melicha over time the reasons for hadacha rishona have evolved
into a very clearly delineated set of reasons and nafja minas.

The BY started a comprehensive list and the pesicha to pri megaddim
refines it. The sefer hasheetos digests a very clear outline. And so
it goes.

AISI, Gmara talks in theory; rishonim are the prijsm or lens thru which
we traditioanlly view Gmara, and ideally acharonim should be clarifying
and synthesizing the rishonim.

Some acharonim are clearer than others of course. At times eg Pri
Megaddim is very clear.

AIUI AhS is trying to do this, Too.
