Just to clarify, because "sound and complete" is often used in a different sense: I don't mean sound and complete in the sense it is used in describing the properties of reasoning algorithms. I meant this statement with respect to the quality of answers to questions asked within our domain of interest: Biology/Life Sciences. The former only depends on the algorithm. The latter depends on what's in our KB, and how we ask the questions.

Put another way, the goal might be stated as wanting to get both
*all* available answers to our questions, and *only* correct answers
to our questions, and both the above contribute to achieving that goal.

[VK] I agree. Our answers need to be sound and complete. The point is whether
richer modeling gets us closer to that goal?
