concepts doc: 404s aren't meaningful?

The concepts doc says:

> Issuing an HTTP GET request and obtaining data with a "200 OK" 
> response code is a technical indication that the received data was 
> published at the request URI; but data received with a "404 Not found" 
> response cannot be considered to be similarly published information.

First, the f in Found should probably be capitalized. More importantly 
though, I don't think that last bit is correct. Most people consider 
404 error pages to be published. For example, I think the author of:

http://harrumph.com/404

would considered it a published document.
