Has anyone declared a hilltop remap to their insurers?

It's not a sentient being. It's changed in one direction by virtue of people who use it with the intention of creating even greater semantic precision and in the other by people who are sloppy in their use of the language.

Sloppy or good is just an arbitrary value judgment of an individual's predjudice.

Not when it relates to semantic precision it isn't. :nono

My understanding is that ontology mapping plays an important role in the Semantic Web, which generates correspondences between different ontologies. Usually, precision and recall are used to evaluate the performance of a mapping method.

Smarter than the average bear :)
 
The first English dictionary was not produced until the 1850's and the English language a few hundred years ago would be almost unintelligible to us, but they communicated effectively enough - language changes - forcing some form of standardisation is simply a philosophical/religious/control mentality by those who cannot think outside the box ;) The French tried to stop their language from 'corruption' by legislation, but have largely given up now.

But language is standardisation...for the purposes of communication.

Unless of course language has a different meaning in Engineerish. ;)

Language never stays 'standardised' for long though, does it? and you cannot force it to, it is always in a state of flux and has always been so. English is one of the most 'non-standard' languages that there is, we have gazillions more 'made-up' words than most other languages (I believe) - it is the fact that it is continuously changing that makes it so good.

Standardisation does not preclude change - change simply results in a new or updated standard. But yes, with respect to language the standard needs to be dynamic to some degree, but the absence of standardisation would make a language ineffective.

Anyway I am sure for most reading this a return to debating Hilltop remapping may be welcome :augie

Can we have a quick precis for those who aren't sure how much they care (or not).

Yes, tell your insurer if they ask if you have made any performance changes to the bike - honesty is best when it comes to legal contracts. If they don't ask then there is no need to volunteer the information -simples :)

So how much standardisation is required and for how long must it remain in place? ;)
 
I want to see clever William's work at finding the Hilltop file. Come on William, you've told us all many times how clever you are so let's see the evidence.

This is the only reason I keep coming in here but he seems to hope we have all forgot
