It works for me. Some databases consist of one table; some consist of
thousands of tables. Similarly, some graph stores consist of one
g-box; some consist of thousands of g-boxes.
The division does tend to be different though, which is why it's just an
analogy. (The data in a single table probably tends to be data about a
certain set of properties of a certain set of objects; the data in a
single g-box probably tends to be the data from a certain source. But
all generalizations are false.)
