Hi! I have a question about Achievable’s semantic cluster 27 (range) category. Under the grouped words for “common people”, both the words “bourgeoisie” and “proletariat” appear, though these words are functionally opposites, with bourgeoisie representing middle-upper class and proletariat representing the poorer class.

I was wondering if this was a mistake, or if ETS does consider those words synonyms.
This is just one example of discrepancy I’ve found in the vocabulary sections, and though there are a few others I might debate, this is the only one so far that seems to exhibit a direct contradiction.

Thank you!
