I would like to remind you all that, should Wintermute fail to get this data
mining ability; all information will have to be entered manually into it.
Thanks to the wonders of the world; manual input of most data is expected to
take at least 20 years before the Ontology becomes complete enough for use;
nevermind adaptations and modifications being out of the question
