That's not what I meant.
(011)
I wasn't claiming that a small ontology can manage a huge complexity.
(012)
I was just saying that we don't yet have methods that are capable of managing
that huge complexity, and that an ontology, by itself, won't help very much.
(013)
The really difficult problems are in reasoning and language understanding. An
ontology can probably help, but we need to go far beyond the currently
available tools.
