Any Reason Why Learnt Kanji Have to Be Made into Radicals?

[NeoArcturus]

Something similar, but not quite the same was asked just recently in this thread here, where the overmind @koichi himself answered right here, perhaps it helps.

By assuming every kanji learnt can be used as a radical, this also removes the need to add those cards. From my point of view, they are just unnecessarily making us learn the same thing twice.

I understand your point, but in my opinion (just my thoughts), some additional revision never hurts.

To me, when the need arises for a kanji to be made into a radical, it should either have a different meaning than the kanji, or it should focus on a singular meaning.

This is something where I absolutely don’t agree. Radicals only have one single meaning anyway, but in my opinion, it shouldn’t be different from the kanji meaning at all, since you might end up confusing the kanji and the radical meanings during the reviews.
