Those are not the tar options.  '-v' means 'verbose', as in,
"verbosely list files processed".  '-f' means that the next argument
will be a filename, and for tar to use that file, not stdin/stdout.
'-x' means 'extract', not 'decompress', and its dual, '-c', means
'create new archive', not 'compress'.

In fact, where did you get that list of options from?

I will agree, it sounds interesting.  But it seems to me to be the
equivalent of training wheels.
