That's the type of reasoning that I find convincing with respect why it
would be a bad idea to try to do explicit Erdos number categories.

Huh. Just because one can't think of a reason
that it would be of
interest
to have a list of mathematicians of Erdos Number
3 doesn't mean that
noone
can. Wikipedia ain't paper.
Trouble is: I have checked that my own Erdos number is at most 4. Knowing
that it is exactly 4, rather than 3, is equivalent to knowing a huge amount
about collaborative papers ... which is a needle-in-haystack search.
