All locks can be broken relatively easily - even the very best locks, costing over £100, are rated by how many minutes they can resist an attack - and only a few minutes at that - and even that rating is regularly made to look a little ambitious by various tests that show how these locks give in to bolt croppers in under a minute.
Any determined thief can take your bike in under a minute regardless of what lock you have (within reason) - an opportunist thief can be held off for, at best, 10-15 minutes.
So with regards to the list, there seems little point as any and every lock has a place on that list.
