Yes, but I also see value in typing i.e., moderate automation as opposed 
to over automation. In short, there's a meme emerging called "Slow Web" 
[1] which actually sheds light on this issue.    (02)

Hmm.. isn't that like saying: I don't trust people to be able to express 
themselves using sentences?    (04)

As you know, there are few (if any) definitive sentences per se., and 
this very property  is what's made natural language so powerful too, right?    (05)

Yes, but isn't error-free data just a variation of error-free 
ontologies? We all know these do not really exist, so we have to live 
with somewhat-accurate data, viewed through a variety of context-lenses 
(where inference and reasoning comes into play).    (07)
