Six categories should be (proportionality 1,16/1,14):
60-69-81-94-110-SHW
50-57-65-74-85-SHW
Everyone, from everywhere, of every height and width would fit with these.
The actually chosen classes WILL be worse. Of course.

Re: Chit-chat thread
I worked out something similar on a spreadsheet somewhere, with a few different start points and % jumps between categories.
Like you say, the categories will not be decided by any data driven approach nor even a theoretical logical approach. What I have seen floated around has been M65-75-85-95-110-SHW and W50-60-70-80-90-SHW. Neither example would be good and I have no evidence to show that those noises are true, so it is probably true.
