In what way is saying its useful an NPOV issue If someone uses this for something then its useful In my case I am reading an article on Markov logic networks wherein linguistic reification is one of the early steps followed by conversion to a lambda calculus form and then many other steps In this calculation reification is a crucial step The natural stupidity article cited probably just says that using reified forms aka QLF s or quasi logical forms in certain ways is stupid it can not claim that QLF s in and of themsels are useless
