Permits vs. requires.

The choice become arbitrary, absent thoughtful justification in 
technical, operations, cost, cognitive, social or legal considerations.

In the current case, it does not appear that the existing use (or 
non-use) of hierarchy has caused problems with any of that above list, 
except some social and/or legal hassles.  But it doesn't seem to rise 
above 'hassles'.

If there is a compelling case for imposing more use of the hierarchy, 
what is it?
