I'm missing something about this.. tagging seems more reasonable
because items can be stored with multiple tags.. isnt that how the

Well, on the one hand, I think you're right Mehboob. That probably is
how the mind works: we associate some item with lots of 'tags'. It's
about X, and Y, and Z, in various strengths.
But I also think that when we use our computers, many years of
"nested folder" thinking gets imprinted onto our minds, making it
hard to break free of nested folders and rely solely on tags.
