You appear to be arguing against the simple useful practice of
communally collecting information. Just because we can scatter
information around the Web and subsequently aggregate it, doesn't mean
that such fragmentation is always productive.  I don't see anyone
arguing that the only option is to monolithically centralise
everything forever; just that a communal effort on cataloguing things
might be worth the time.

You've sometimes said that all Web pages are already "Linked Data"
with boring link-types. Are you talking about something more RDFish in
this case?
