Duane -
  That wouldn't be a way to distinguish the alternatives, because according
to your search, "flower" could not occur in any part of the retrieved
document.
  Even using your stringent criterion, the odds are still 200 to 1 against a
tulip being a flower, if one tries to get an ontology out of Web statistics.    (01)

  But quibbles aside, I can't imagine that you actually think one can induce
a useful ontology from the Web - do you?    (02)
