[wp-testers] "Categories"

My thinking is quite the opposite of this.  It would get confusing  
for readers in the long run if a site had both tags and categories.   
If someone really wants to see all your reviews then they can click  
on your "Reviews" tag and they'll all come up.  If they want movie  
reviews, then click on "Movies" in a list of common tags that pops up  
in your reviews archive section.  Or, properly implemented,  
your.url.com/tags/reviews+movies.

Tags give the user the flexibility of using your site the way they  
want to, not the way you want them to.  If using both categories and  
tags, is there a way to find all News relevant to "Germany" without  
finding a post about your trip to Germany last year? If not, then  
you're including information that the user probably doesn't want.  If  
News were a tag instead of a category, then the user could use this  
to drill down as specifically as they wanted.

In my opinion, tags empower the user whereas categories limit the  
user.  Thoughts?
