I disagree with that blanket "Bad Thing". It is much more likely that a general map will show shop=lessrarevalue with a specific icon than shop=veryrarevalue. So if you are using shop=veryrarevalue instead of shop=lessrarevalue you might lose detail in the database, but in practice you will gain detail in actual use. There is probably a sweet spot somewhere in the middle, enough detail to allow to differentiate "important" differences while not adding too much detail overwhelming anybody who wants to use the data.
