Roger, I think there is something important missing from this effort.  So
far, your examples mix up two separate concepts -

1) The value or use of discovering information by means of logical
inferencing.  The example of the robber and the speeder would work with a
wide range of ontology languages and reasoning systems.  It has little to do
with OWL per se.

2) The potential value of OWL as a specific language.  This should cover why
OWL would be preferred over some other language.

I think both could be covered in a single presentation, but I do not really
see it in what you have shown us so far.

Cheers,
