That was a prerequisite of my statement above. You don't have to know English grammar to produce sentences in English. However, knowing the grammar will let you produce better, more understandable sentences. RDF is the grammar of linked data.
My position has simply been that RDF is an implementation detail with regards to Linked Data. It adds useful and important value to Linked Data.
As strange as this might sound, these lengthy threads are about this fundamental point which I know is defensible.
RDF provides a grammar to Linked Data that's understood by RDF processors :-)
