There are several uses you can make for it.

1) When you are determining what to include in the view, you can toggle to see what isn't in it that you want to include. This gives a very easy way to see the inverse of the view.

2) Historically, we had "Story" view and "World" view that were mutually exclusive. You have a topic in story or in world but not both. Based on feedback, we changed it around so that "World" is everything and "Story" is whatever you want to put in it. But to provide the functionality of the old "World" view where you can see what isn't in the "Story" view, we added this inverse capability.

3) In some cases, it may be easier to include topics you don't want to see in a view and then use the inverse to see the topics you really care about.
