Honestly, I won't convince you, so I'll leave you to the pleasure of your pointer chasing, L1 cache misses, multiplicative blowups, and fixed / inflexibly structured taxonomies.
In practice if you index the right properties and have the right relationships in Neo4j then queries are very fast. And neo4j doesn't have taxonomies. You might be thinking of RDF. One of the best things about Neo4j compared to relational databases is the lack of a rigid schema.
