I've mentioned, a couple of times, that I was writing a Trophy Dark incursion called Light. Well, now it's out there, ready for you to wander through a terrible magical desert while trying to save a sorcerer who can make your dreams come true.

this is why I like to think of systems of classification as lenses
it is a way of looking at the thing that I am currently looking through. it's not about the thing, it's about my viewpoint and the things that I can see through that lens or from that angle of view.

"So does it count if" let's stop right there. All systems of classification are made up. They cannot be correct or incorrect; they are only useful or not useful. The question you should be asking is not "is A technically B?", but rather, "does it HAVE UTILITY to draw our lines such that A is B?"

this is a good post that cites the nodecrawl post!
in the end it's all about organizing information, and you can organize your information however you like; the question you should ask is what are you gaining from the way you're doing it?
and if the answer is nothing, maybe organize it differently
