I don't think this could be characterized as a bad example, in the very
worst case, the relations could be confusing, or subjectively inaccurate
etc.. (02)

I don't think so. (04)
The HTTP URI <https://twitter.com/hashtag/NLP#this>, when placed in the
address bar of any browser simply resolves to an HTML document that
lists a collection of Tweets. Basically, because
<https://twitter.com/hashtag/NLP> is providing connotation (in the Web
medium) for <https://twitter.com/hashtag/NLP#this>. (05)
If you pass <https://twitter.com/hashtag/NLP#this> through my URIBurner
instance, where there are actual RDF based relations in place for a
richer connotation of that URIs referent, you end up with: (06)
[1] http://linkeddata.uriburner.com/c/9C3K2GJR -- a description of what
<https://twitter.com/hashtag/NLP> actually identifies (or names) modulo
owl:sameAs reasoning and inference (07)
[2] http://linkeddata.uriburner.com/c/8EINP4 -- a richer description of
what <https://twitter.com/hashtag/NLP> actually identifies (or names)
with owl:sameAs reasoning and inference enabled (so you have a merge of
my sparse description combined with a richer description from Wikipedia
via DBpedia). (08)

All I am doing is describing something, I am not expressing any
particular deep views about the subject matter. Put differently, I am
demonstrating how I can collate information about a subject from a
variety of sources via the power of RDF based Linked Open Data.

I sort of deliberately set this in motion to get something like this out
in the open. Basically, in situations like this, you can add some
triples to enrich the subject matter description. You don't anyone's
permission etc.. just drop a few nanotations and we end up with a much
richer subject matter understanding. (011)
