nesting vs bullets in org-mode

On first getting comfortable in org, I created SO MANY nested hierarchies. It took a while to realize the difference between nesting and using something lower key, like bullets.

In org, you can get trapped in nesting, while after a few bullet points, you can still return to the original level. The difference is the difference between continuing a previous flow and suddenly having a structural conversation about the nature of this thing you're in the middle of spilling. Breaking flow is bad!
