Most Casual Observer: Everything is Miscellaneous (not!)
Excellente critique du dernier livre de David Weinberger. L'auteur du Weblog montre les défauts des suppositions de départs et comment elles sont utilisées pour tirer des conclusions qui n'ont pas de sens. La critique des taxonomies, des ontologies, des systèmes de classification par les avocats des folksonomies tient souvent du syllogisme. "1) Ce tracteur a été créé pour cultiver les champs. 2) Je n'ai pas le droit d'utiliser ce tracteur en ville. 3) C'est un mauvais tracteur."Weinberger has not done his homework and his book shows it. He repeatedly starts with bad assumptions, so the book crumbles into a pile of anecdote and opinion.
