For sure! So if I'm reading an article about the fall of the Roman Empire, and I learn about how modern scholarship does not talk in terms like "fall" much anymore, but rather civilization transformation, I might make a new stub article titled `civilization` and then another one for `civilization transformation` Now, if I read a story about Asoka's Empire in what is now India, and I read about how it underwent a collapse, I might tag it with `civilization transformation` as well. Another story about the nature of modern civilization and the travails of people who treat their kids as a personal project to "build" as opposed to a living being to nurture and encourage, I would tag that with `civilization` but not `civilization transformation` Ripgrep'ing my org files for "civilization" would turn up all three of these backlinks. Grepping does not understand context. But I understand context. While `civilization` is part of `civilization transformation`, I don't want `civilization transformation` surfaced for every search of `civilization` This is a rather contrived example with some obvious issues, but I suppose a good analogy would be that you can drag fish for scallops and get every other living thing off the bottom in your net, increasing the work to clean it out. Or you can dive for individual scallops and take longer but have less work to do when you surface. Both methods have merit, but one provides a much cleaner signal. Practically speaking, I USE my Roam note's backlinks. While I could grep my previous notes, in practice I never did because it was too much work.
