Why I do not subscribe to top 10 app lists

I see all these tweets about top 10 lists of apps for a particular topic and say may you missed out on this app or another.  I tried to make a page on the best apps for a particular topic. I could not keep the lists to 5 or 10, so I stopped.  Look at note taking apps, I use atleast five apps to take notes depending on what kind of notes I am taking.  Each apps has something special about it that I use for a particular type of notes. I know these top 10 lists are suppose to get people started using a device, but the real function of starter apps should be teach users the basic funtions of the iPAD.  For the function of notetaking, I could recommend between 15-20 apps bepending on what types of notes you are taking and how you intend to get them off of the dvice.   A few of these list look as if the people publishing them either copied them from the app store or have not actually used them on an iPAD.   It directs new users in the wrong direction.  I would really like there to be a defined set of apps to say here start with these, or for this task use this one, but there isn't.  Apps by nature are very fluid. The goal of apps are to become better and add more features.  Therefore, it is hard to say one is better than another one, because the next day another could have a better feature added.
