I don’t think they claimed it would work for everyone. Or indeed for anyone else. Seems like it's just saying "this is what we do."

(Edit: removed needlessly snarky wording.)

My main interest in a knowledge graph is the universal application of it, and I suspect that's true for much of HN audience. So of course it's natural when reading this article to wonder if their methodology applies, and I was answering my own implicit question.

Good on IKEA for solving the problem they have efficiently, but I can be interested in a larger scope.

Yes, you’re correct and that’s a reasonable interest. I also realize that I worded my comment in a needlessly obnoxious way.
