This is Stratagem 38 http://coolhaus.de/art-of-controversy/erist38.htm And somehow, you lost, but that was not the purpose of my argumentation. I really mean to listen to some VALID points in support of the grandiose aims of the Semantic Web. If any such arguments can be made. Kind regards, -- Jean-Luc Delatre P.S. We already had some previous clash. Do you remember my question about a hat?
