If the above is true, then I fully agree with you here. The variable ?y
is never mentioned in any triple pattern, so why would one be interested
in it? It is far more likely that this is a typo made by the developer,
and it should be treated as such. Not doing so will make SW applications
unnecessarily difficult to debug.
