What do you mean by: nothing to do with me? You mean zero association 
across any dimension?

Data is the new electricity. URIs are the conduction mechanism. In some 
capacity people need to know about data objects, items, entities. This 
ultimately aids construction of critical "context lenses" that are 
desperately needed re. Linked Data and the broader vision of 
semantically interlinked web of data . Thus, when you say: "X has 
nothing to do with You"  we'll be able to apply context, with ease :-)
