> I think you have 2 issues with content based systems: you have ambiguity (in archiving and retrieval) and you have to use mental effort to resolve that ambiguity.

True, but .......

Full-text search solves many problems. And hyperlinks enable knowledge to be in multiple places at once and even remain normalized (i.e., it can be in other locations by reference). If your kb has an efficient 'include' functionality, it's even easier.

Most importantly, if you are using your kb well (by my definition [0]), you record high-quality knowledge that you've already engaged deeply with. If you can't solve the content ambiguity issue easily, it's just a sign that you haven't engaged and don't know it well enough.
