The whole point is to reduce dialogue-based tagging as much as possible due to it violating TWYS.
In most cases, the implied_* tags are subjective to the user tagging the post.

See topic #60538 for discussion.

In brief, implied_* tags are not only subjective, they are overly broad, because something can be "implied" by many different things. It is better to tag based on the specific thing that implies the thing, because that's more objective and provides better granularity for searches. Thus why I've listed alternatives in the proposed wiki descriptions.
