Please explain further.  What do you really mean?  Its natural for
everyone here to think every word in that post was a troll unless you
explain your views more clearly.  You could not have expressed a more
unpopular/unsupportable combination of ideas!  Exactly how would we go
about using language as a query tool?  Is this AI?  What would the
underlying model be knowing how redundant and imprecise language can
be?  Tell what we may have missed.
