• even tbe best planned hierarchy stops being ideal when the requirements change (i.e. when your situation changes)
• need to consider both search-based and navigation-based retrieval
• mental contexts when storing and when retrieving files are often different, leading to different hierarchies for the same file
• “All relevant studies show that for file retrieval on the local computer system or local network, navigation is chosen over search in the absolute majority of cases.”
