I'm not actually.
Open world semantics means that you can never assume that a fact that hasn't been explicitly given doesn't happen to be on some
server that is just temporarily unreachable.
If you combine this with a monotonic query language and inference engine, which never retracts facts, you get a GSet with pretty powerfull operations.
You can even arbitrarily cache facts without worry of conflicts.
