Yes! these read/write, and reference/recall ratios are good measures of how we should do things. the article case is only valid for a certain range.

Maybe, for you, a system like mem.ai [1] is another step forward beyond the burdens of markdown wiki (for certain high-write/low-read use cases at least)

1- You "write" new information without each time asking yourself: where to put a new page in the hierarchy? what to name it? maybe I should include this into an existing page? which one? No. You just write "memos" (and maybe tag them).

2- Then, you are able to "reference" them without even recalling the exact keyword you used: You just ask a natural language question.
