I get the idea that there are theoretical reasons why image filters can't work, and I share the view that the proposal which was consulted on needs some improvement. An individual choice made at the IP level was a circle that looked awfully difficult to square.
But since Flickr has already proven that something like this can work in practice, can we agree to classify Image filters as one of those things that work in practice but not in theory? Then we can concentrate on the practical issue of if we decide to implement this, how do we do it better than Flickr has?
NB I would not want us to implement this the way Flickr has http://www.flickr.com/help/filters/#258 And not only because I'm not totally convinced that our community would share their view that Germany is the country that needs the tightest restrictions.

PS My niece absolutely wants that magical flying unicorn pony for the winter solstice, especially if it s***s rainbows. Would you mind telling me where I can order one
Using flickr as an example is an bad example. At first there thousands if not millions of images with false categorization, meaning that the filter is ineffective. Just do a quick search on your own and you will find the examples. Secondly flickr does not advocate knowledge. It has a completely different mission.
PS: Just implement the filter and you will see that unicorn-rainbow-brick-argumentation falling from the sky, where you pushed it.
