I stand corrected, in particular that my formulation is unfair to the author. However, in a formal framework of pure deduction we have no moderation of truth.

I stand corrected, in particular that my formulation is unfair to the author. However, in a formal framework of pure deduction we have no moderation of truth. Either a sentence is true or it is not (or it is non-deducible). The sentence `some people who live in Brooklyn do speak with a Brooklyn accent` is not coercible to `People who live in Brooklyn speak with a Brooklyn accent`. I follow his argument that a syllogistic world view is not practical in a distributed, collaborative semantic web sense. But this is kind of far away from his statement: "Syllogisms are Not Very Useful".
