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"

Hmm.. isn't that like saying: I don't trust people to be able to express
themselves using sentences?    (06)

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?    (07)

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).    (09)
