Yes that is how I would use tags.
And the difference is subtle. Some may argue what is the difference between Firefox and Safari? Or the difference between Yojimbo and Journler. Maybe not the best examples, but you get my point. Things can be accomplished in more than one way, and sometimes it is the subtle differences that make one more pleasurable to use than the other.
Some have argued for tags to be used as multiple contexts - they have been tossed around interchangeably.
I see tags as more of a viewing and searching tool.

Yes but, if the contexts WEREN'T hierarchal (structured), there would be no easy way to view all computer items at once, for example.
Of course you could create an endless sea of perspectives based on custom selections I suppose, but as I posted previously, sometimes it feels like OmniFocus is just a tad bit clunky; switching modes, view bars, selections, perspectives, etc. I just think it can be improved a little bit, that's all. It's still the best I have found.

That is the context under which I've been commenting.

And, as it is a long post, it is clearly evident that people are still struggling with it and have different opinions on how to help those that are sturggling with it.
I don't see a problem with that.
