Human beings have an evolutionary drive to belong to a tribe. Micro-labeling satisfies several modern psychological needs:

What do a medical student memorizing microbiology with cartoon sketches, a fashion designer creating barely-there woven labels, and a consumer scrutinizing a food package all have in common?
