This drives me nuts. The idea that AI, EDI, BPR, Schemas, or the semantic
_anything_ will completely automate any entire facet of business is
ludicrous, but it's suspiciously hard to find the people who supposedly
make such claims.
Most of a time, this supposed claim is just a straw man for a wilful
rant. Not that those are all bad, of course...
