Claims / C-4R8TQMNXJR
Conjecture
A record system that files each item in exactly one drawer trains its keepers to think in its categories, and treats items that span drawers as a nuisance rather than a finding.
Evidence 2 passages
groundsSource document
Things that belong in more than one drawer, like Wagnerian music dramas—do I file them under music, theatre, or perhaps invent a new category altogether—are a terrible headache.
groundsSource document
the people who operate such a system of drawers must be reprogrammed to stop thinking as humans and to start thinking as clerks and accountants.
