Include muzzle in Breadcrumbs?

Question

Search Engine Optimization

Once wrote crumbs on data-vocabulary.org and always included. So far the flight is normal.
And now I decided to use JSON-LD and look at the schema.org and in Google, the muzzle is not indicated in the examples.
But they have a category / subcategory there, and then I get 1 point:

<script type="application/ld+json">
    {
     "@context": "http://schema.org",
     "@type": "BreadcrumbList",
     "itemListElement":
     [
      {
       "@type": "ListItem",
       "position": 1,
       "item":
       {
        "@id": "https://example.com/news/",
        "name": "News"
        }
      }
     ]
    }
    </script>

Validator I, G, linter eat this way and that, but it's somehow empty... what kind of list with 1 item...
Will there be crumbs in the sickle in this situation?
Or is it better to add a main one for reliability?

Answer 1

Yes, I agree - without Home it looks empty and incomplete if the depth is small, so it's better to turn it on.
