Except that the notes don't organize themselves, you just offload to a non-deterministic black-box to "lose them for you". Many (although, not all, true) give their PKMS a very opinionated shape, because the way knowledge is organized and structured matters as much, if not more, than the sum of the individual facts.

Personally, I'm not interested, but to each their own.

Are you more deterministic than an instruction-following black-box? I doubt it. Also, such organization practice mostly becomes a mechanical routine after the initial experimentation phase. Good riddance, I'd say.

I think I am, because I want my referenced notes to be typed. And the depth and accuracy of those types defines the extent of the knowledge being keept track of, considering that it also evolves and morphs over time. If I don't care to have categories of notes that I comprehend (Persons, Projects, Vehicles, …) and curated and up-to-date properties for them, I don't even know what kind of content is there and what kind of queries/answer I can expect out of my PKMS. I want determinism on a formal, fundamental level.
