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.
