I'm sure that Martin is really tired of saying this, so I will reiterate for
him: It wasn't his data, they weren't his servers. He's speaking on behalf
of people who aren't part of our insular community... people who don't have
a compelling reason to subsidize a PhD student's Best Paper award with their
own dollars and bandwidth.

Agents can use Linked Data just fine without firing 150 requests per second
at a server. There are TONs of use cases that do not require that kind of
server load.
