I agree in spirit but disagree in practice, I think. Like we said previously, the domain is humongous so even establishing meaningful relationships between labels and sublabels is extremely difficult. Many cases are likely ambiguous too, our human understanding isn’t actually hierarchical - it’s much more elusive. It’s a square peg round hole type problem really, humans don’t really think in terms of labels in the first place, we mostly use them for the purposes of language.
