I completely agree with this. Technically speaking you could catagorize any game into a "Simulator" because that's what games are in some aspect or another, depending on the game. Categorizing games however, are supposed to describe games for what they are.
Personally, this is the my favourite list of categories, but I may be missing some:
Real-Time Strategy (RTS)
Role-Playing Game(RPG)
First Person Shooter (FPS)
Adventure
Fighter
Racer
Simulators (Real-life, piloting, etc.)
Possibly others...
