On the one hand, you want more expressive power and on the other hand, you say
that most of the SW does not go beyond Aristotle. (03)
Do you really think without the "Decidability Thought Police", people would
actually go beyond Aristotle ? (04)

If we see the SW as "AI system", we have already lost. When a colleague of
mine saw the specs for the first time, he said "Ah... they want to repeat the
failure of the expert systems". (06)
My fear is that the SW actually is an "expert system" - that you will always
need ontology experts to get your data in. (07)
