Dendron works because we make working with knowledge more like working with code. By this, I mean we add just enough syntax to help enforce structure and then introduce tooling on top of that to make use of that structure. A core example is schemas: this is like a type system that describes how your notes are organized. With schemas, you have one source of truth for the structure of your entire knowledge base. You can, for example, ensure that all your project notes use the same template and are organized along the same hierarchy. You can then use operations like "Lookup" (fuzzy search over your hierarchies) to find specific sections or "Refactor" to update the structures (Dendron will make sure that all links stay consistent).
