Is there any utility in logical fallacies taxonomies?

This directly from my book:

There have been many attempts to categorize fallacies, some of which may make fallacies easier to understand. I have chosen to organize all fallacies, alphabetically, by the names for which they are best known. I chose this method because:

• There is no official taxonomy, nor is there even a taxonomy accepted by the majority of those who classify fallacies.
  The ambiguous nature of most of the fallacies means that many of the fallacies can fit in a variety of categories.
  Focusing on faux-categorical structures distracts from the fallacies themselves.

There is some utility in taxonomy, especially, separating formal fallacies and informal fallacies.
