any NL text, and no single method, by itself, is sufficient. (02)

There is no single module that can do everything, not even a
theorem prover combined with a deeply axiomatized ontology.
As I said before, Cyc had that years ago, and Cyc can't read
a book. (04)
What I was saying is that word-expert parsers as Small designed
them are far less promising as one component among many than
Quillian's old spreading activation method -- plus new ideas,
as the 2007 article said. (05)
Please read Minsky's _Society of Mind_ and my paper about the
Flexible Modular Framework: (06)

Architectures for Intelligent Systems (07)
These approaches can accommodate and integrate a multiplicity
of methods, including logic, analogy, case-base reasoning,
statistics, spreading activations, and even WEP. (08)
