Interesting that it is basically the same approach as Cyc in 1986. You
program a bunch of rules defining common sense. Cyc succombed to the power
law or Zipf distribution of knowledge. A few dozen rules cover half the
cases. You need millions of rules to cover the rest.

Cyc was a failure. But it is interesting that in 34 years we haven't found
something better.
