Of course not!

Web-like structured data enhanced with explicit entity relationship 
semantics enables serendipitous discovery at the public or private level.

"Open" has nothing to do with "Public" . "Open" is about standards and 
the interoperability they accord.

Not by point, I said nothing about the Public Linked Open Data Cloud. 
Likewise, I said nothing about Public Domain data.

Again, it is Web 101 to publish content with discovery in mind. That has 
nothing to do with 100% precision when you seek.

Now, if you want to learn about precision and find, that's where the 
power of web-like structured data endowed with machine- and 
human-comprehensible entity relationship semantics come into play.

And if you wanna play ball, then take a look at how we dog-food via 
public demonstration at: http://lod.openlinksw.com .

Please note the "lod" doesn't mean public cloud. It just means you can 
have this massive amount of Linked Open Data hosted in public or in 
private en route to exploiting high precision search and find that based 
on entity relationship semantics.

I thought you were clearly aware of the fact the Linked Open Data != 
Publicly available data etc..

Please, I told you before, and I will tell you again "don't try to teach 
parents how to make babies!"
