You have to remember, though, that redirects don't only affect search queries. Autosuggest also pops up when you're editing. Do we really want links popping up across the wiki that ''do'' point to the right place, but use the very much incorrect disambiguation term? | You have to remember, though, that redirects don't only affect search queries.

''On the other hand'', this is the cleanest solution to that sort of problem if we ''do'' propose solving it in any way. Redirects, especially redirects with just a difference in disambiguation, are pretty muted. Without looking at the source of an article which uses that dab, you might not ever notice any difference. Perhaps we'd maintain a bot list of these redirects, and every once in a while I'd run [[User:SV7|my bot]] to replace [[Jack Harkness (Hidden)]]—for his first audio story—with [[Jack Harkness (The Empty Child)]]. (I'm assuming here that in your final example, you meant to ''suppose'' that's how we'd treat it if [[Jack Harkness]] were, in fact, dabbed.) | ''On the other hand'', this is the cleanest solution to that sort of problem if we ''do'' propose solving it in any way.
