Are we, outliners fans, just a bunch of outlined mind maniacs?

I guess that many people who love to see their stuff in a hierarchy order (as I am!), seems to be perfectionist guys, that can’t feel in complete peace, while the things they see are not in its correct branch.

There is some psycological thing behind this outlining point of view. I think it’s obvious. But i don’t see clear if this can be for good or bad to our brain. Some people say that an outline is just an artificial structure, which doesn’t allow us to see the rather caotic nature of life. Other people stands for a strict hierarchy of the knowledge, thanks to which we can build relationships.

Apart of that discussion, I wonder how much the use of outliners are setting up our way of thinking, and I’m curious if most of outline lovers do have in commun a kind of task oriented character.

By the way… Don’t you think that this forum could be greater if the posts were published in an outline mode? ;)
