But was it not clear that the visualizable image (even if not
glorifiable as poetic) had been intended merely as a lead-in to my next
major post? (04)
It was a sort of graphic announcement, and hopefully a helpful one as we
proceed, that something maybe unexpected by ontology engineers would
be following. (05)
Perhaps I might also repeat this paragraph from near the end of the
offending post: (06)

For my part, I certainly don't see any present ontology engineering
fitting that bill as Ontology Chemistry will. (08)
I hope I won't disappoint you. But please tell me if I do? (09)
