Request: tag synonyms surfaced in search Writing it up because I had to work it out twice and would rather nobody else did.

Process question about how this site works.

I have read the guidelines and the trust-level page and I still have a question about the mechanism rather than the rule. Specifically, I would like to understand the reasoning behind it, because I suspect the reasoning is better than the rule sounds.

Not a complaint. If the answer is "because of a failure mode you have not seen yet", I would like to hear about the failure mode.

the opening post answers the question as asked. The question underneath it is different.

Use case: explain why you think the feature would help. "I would use this to..." makes the request concrete.
