Confusing Textual Cohesion With Ideational Construal

Martin & Rose (2007: 83):
On the other hand, taxonomies are more often constructed implicitly as a text unfolds from clause to clause, as we saw for the people in Helena’s story. A difference with technical fields, such as legal justice, is that the writer may deliberately construct a technical taxonomy as the text unfolds.

This confuses the cohesive relations between lexical items (textual metafunction) with the construal of experience as taxonomies (ideational metafunction).
