Hey, this is an amusing topic ...

Example for a beer-tasting FAQ (about American lagers):

*Budweiser, Coors, and Miller are the most well-known bad examples of 
this style. ... There is almost no difference in taste from brand to 
brand, especially after five or six.

And our own MoS says to avoid expressions like:

*Among the most well-known members of the fraternity include ...

But sadly it is objecting to the two "subset terms".

I still think it is a potential good indicator of poor style. Anyway, 
pursuing it got me into an area needing attention, including what is now 
[[first date (meeting)]].
