I don't understand how it would defeat the purpose of subcats. My goal is to be able to retrieve lists of persons with like characteristics. Unless a person is included in a subcategory, they will not be included in that list. A person who dies from lung cancer, also belongs in the larger list of persons who died from cancer.
The suggestion is that some kind of tool -- as yet, I believe unwritten -- could generate a list of all members of a category and its subcategories. I imagine this would suit your purpose.
