The relation to the current Era is easily seen (known). And as Jon mentioned on another post (Modern vs Historical), never needs adjustment later.
I think we can assume, folk needing that level of detail can figure 1942 is in the 20th Century without the tag
I also do a lot of *Assume*. Anything not Non-Fiction (tagged), is Fiction (no tag needed) Mean-Lean-DB Machine 
Another reason for Lean. Passing books to devices USING tags nested that deep is a real PITA to deal with
My 2 cents. It is still YOUR Library  |
I found it easiest when initially sorting my books to throw them into four historical categories, then further sort those categories.
And sometimes I want to look at the broader categories (such as all my ancient history books or all my 20th century books) and sometimes I want to look at narrower categories. If I label things correctly I can do a search for 20th century and find all relevant books on my device even if it has flattened my tags.
I have a number of books containing both fiction and nonfiction so I tag for both.
