that is what I missed in your point.
On that we agree: I already wrote

for specific applications like e-commerce, hard logic is needed,
and RDF can be used to express it, with specific and strict schemas.
Only the subset of the web using (correctly) those schemas will then be used.
But other functions don't need hard logic (like search engines)
and may benefit from the use of "vague" RDF (which includes "hard logic" RDF)
