Yes, that's true .

Yes, but I don't believe folks have that assumption about RDF documents
published in accordance with Linked Data principles.

Linked Data docs are the basis for creating Data Webs that come in
various shapes, sizes, and forms. Thus, what can be achieved is quite
diverse, in line with equally diverse needs.

Maybe, but as per  my comments above, that isn't the focal point. 

I understand that a lot of commentary has swirled around large dataset
publication for years, but I wouldn't use that to define this space. It
just so happens that data has to be in place for client activity to
blossom.

You can't query the entire web, and I really don't think that's been the
goal of SPARQL, Linked Data, and the LOD Cloud. There are going to be
lots of smart clients working with chunks of Linked Data is very
intelligent ways, courtesy of SPARQL and the principles behind web-like
structured data representation (a/k/a Linked Data).

For instance, I see the LOD Cloud more like an Electric Grid that
facilitates the flow of electricity (Data) :)
