I think every field has its own version of this thought, where if we could just manage to categorise and tag things properly we could achieve anything. Our lack of a valid overarching ontology is what is holding us back from greatness.

It might be short lived, who knows, but it's interesting that the recent progress came from capturing/consuming rather than systematically eliminating the nuance in language.
