No :)

I mean't that when you dereference
http://iandavis.com/2010/303/toucan, the triples you get about
http://iandavis.com/2010/303/toucan can be considered authoritative.
For me, that's one of the principle advantages of linked data over
other data formats - built in provenance if you will.

Also authoritative does not mean true. I means it asserts authority
over the data. That could very well be wrong, but it's the consumer's
choice whether they trust that authority or not (or can prove it
perhaps).
