Why do people have to have 'commercial value' to get black bars? Why do people have to pass the ideological police? Why isn't serving as a visible advocate of a certain logical model enough?

I think my bias comes from having started my career in AI on the inference side and having (perhaps not so much long term :) seen Cyc as a shining city on a hill. Lenat certainly established that logical model even if we've since gone onto other things.
