Hell, if you don't believe me, ask any self-pubbed author here--or trade-pubbed, for that matter. Two Bisac categories and that's IT.

Those additional, Amazon-added search-term items are nearly accidental.
Are dozens (hundreds?) of bloggers all conspiring to lie, or have you missed something, or are we talking at cross purposes, or has something changed very recently? (Or some other communication failure mode. Anything's possible.) Here are just two examples (of many) of advice on how to add your book to more categories.
