 If you have the current structure:
  * Category A
   * Child Category B

 Currently in WordPress if you put any posts into the child category, it
 will treat as though it's also a part of the parent category.

 Meaning that if I don't specifically select the parent category and I just
 select the child category and save...if I do a query on the parent
 category - it will have increased in value.

 Would it not make sense to have it automatically select all parent
 categories of a child category when selecting what categories a post
 belongs to?
