If one takes the preceding statement as fact and then watches the  
video shared by Dan Brickley:

Then the only logical conclusion is that the SemWeb will never achieve  
widespread use.  If average folks can't distinguish between their  
browser and a search engine, how could we ever expect them to  
distinguish between the URI of the file and the URI of the subject of  
discourse?  The answer is that we can't.  So either the SemWeb will  
have correct KR, logical, and ontological underpinnings, or lots of  
people will publish data, but not both.
