Yes, but they're not part of the interface.

The technology needs to work with the data - the six million files and
their categories, carefully added by hand by humans.

If category intersections worked, they could then be broken down to
work better with category intersections.

Demanding that all six million files be de-categorised before you'll
even allow a category intersection tool to *possibly* be deployed is
backward.

People need to be able to go gradually.
