Interesting discussion of taxonomies and placement of objects therein. One
good example of "double-posting" grocery items is that when onion are on sale
in the store I use, they are featured in a bin just as you come in the front
door. However, there are also some of the same onions (at the same sale
price) at the back of the section where onions are normally found. A good
idea just in case there are folks who don't notice the first bin because they
are struggling with coats or their cart or because they simply don't expect
to find onions at the front of the produce section.
I would like to point out that missing in this discussion is the fact that
there is one tool where all users would easily find tomatoes in one and only
one place. That's in an alphabetical site index. Tomatoes are under T. No
question. And from there it doesn't matter where the accompanying link goes.
