It was specifically explained why a shota age_difference search wouldn't work.
Everything is told when an admin says it. If it had been explained less authoritatively it'd have been devil's advocated to hell and back I would know. I'm not complaining I'm just pointing out the hindsight nature of this argument.
It didn't include hetero in the search, but that wouldn't have addressed the problem with using shota to do the search, anyway. It would take at least 5 tags just to make the search work, at which point it's better off being its own tag.
Even if shota danbooru usage was ideal the belief that we can replicate it with an arbitrary search query is pure fantasy, in the same way you can't replicate the concept of streetwear with a monstrous query of different attire tags.
Besides, nothing about onee-shota is abstract. It's a young boy with an older woman in a romantic or sexual context. It couldn't be more straight forward.
I admit it's an exaggeration but valid in this context. Discerning a risque, sexual or romantic fashion requires more thought about the image than the rest of danbooru's atomic tags, even if it's just common sense. But in other cases even bara is argued as too vague. Again I get the feel things are so straightforward now when a clear wiki has been redacted, everyone shook hands and there's plentiful examples to get the hang of the tag. I want to make clear that I meant it as a positive example of how the community walked away from "1tag=1thing" idea or whatever we want to call it.
Analogously streetwear is not abstract yet not as concrete as tagging individual garments, and would be a superior descriptor of attire to the mishmash of its related tags.
