not exactly !
it is usable by a validator, which does not have to hard code the domain and range of rdfs:range; for example. What I said is that it is not SUFFICIENT, but not USELESS.

that's right,
that's what makes RDF powerful and scalable,
and that's why RDF alone is NOT a complete and sound logical language ;

but my conviction is that
- it can be restricted to fit another language (cf SiLRI, for example) to do hard reasonning
- it can be used alone to do "soft reasonning"
