No, the point is that since only an information resource can have a
representation (as some of us view these things -- I know this point
is controvercial), a 200 OK on a GET of a URI implies that the URI
identifies an information resource.   A 404 implies something quite
different (something about the URI owner I guess!) but says nothing
about whether it's an information resource.
