If you've set things up with that sort of constraint, then you've set yourself up for failure - Gödel's incompleteness theorems [0]. I think OWA is the only way around that, you just need to gracefully handle unknowns. Of course, you can convert an unknown into a known pretty easily with: ¬u :)

That is exactly when I'd want my reasoner to ignore a graph edge, or else you get a non sequitur that ends with Nike belonging in the human set. Measure twice, cut once.
