"EFA" is a lousy term. The "FA" is unnecessary, even adding its own ad hominym fallacy, presuming that how the choices were arrived at matters. It doesn't matter if the choices considered are created by Free Association or by careful selection, for which we already have the fallacy known as Cherry Picking, a.k.a. Incomplete Evidence, a.k.a. Suppressing Evidence. Perhaps a better name for this is the Fallacy of False Alternatives.

The proper argument would be a sound Argument by Case (or Proof By Case).  When done poorly for two cases, either because the cases aren't mutually exclusive or because they don't span the whole domain, this is called a False Dichotomy or False Dilemma.  For more cases, this is an Incomplete Case Analysis or an Incomplete Case Analysis (or in math, an Invalid Proof by Cases).  I think a term like Incomplete Categories would be more accurate, or False Categories if the choice of categories is poor...

No matter how you slice it, EFA is a lousy term.

Or reply, "But it would be conscious (if it were alive)."

"If you want to coordinate thousands of people... You have about five words."

It depends what "coordinate" means. Give them a list of essays of increasing size and yes, some won't get past the first 5 words. Some will make it all the way through. Often "coordinate" means different people doing different things, so having people at varying levels of dexterity works.
