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.
