Yes, that's an excellent summary of the article.  My point is that I
don't think it really much matters, since the semantic web as
currently conceived by the people who participate in committees to
create the semantic web is of interest only to committee-lovers.

You're welcome to a different opinion on the viability of the current
efforts to create the semantic web, but please don't conclude from
that difference that I haven't thought about the issues.
