| Dec 5, 2013 at 23:56 | comment | added | Max Truxa | @RegDwigнt Very interesting read, thanks! Now that I'm seeing how many questions are tagged with this, I wonder myself how I couldn't stumble over one of them. If you transform your comment into an answer, I can accept it. | |

| Dec 5, 2013 at 23:05 | comment | added | Cyberherbalist | I hesitate to answer because I wonder the same thing, but it seems to me that hierarchic pertains more to human organizational structure, whereas hierarchical is a generic adjective. I am probably wrong. | |
