On that topic, we are in complete agreement. But note that this
is usually called *terminology*. If I had a choice between a well
designed terminology that had been in widespread use in an industry
and somebody's exercise in using some ontology language, there is
no question what I would prefer -- give me the terminology! (03)

I agree. But at the current stage of development, I have more
faith in the terminologies than in most ontologies I've seen. (05)
