But *humans* shouldn't be doing that. Humans would have a biased opinion, 
and be error-prone int he extreme. Witness again the 600 man-years on Cyc, 
and Lenat failed *again*. If the human doesn't pre-munge it, then the Ai 
must,, and if it cannot incorporate it while it's running, then it's rather 
useless, isn't it?
