Are you positive that is a “SPARL endpoint” not SPARQL?

What I really wanted to write in the FAQ was:

“They used to say if man could fly, he’d have wings. But he did fly. He discovered he had to. Do you wish that we didn’t invent writing, or that we hadn’t invented computers or the wb? That’s like saying that you wished that you still operated with scalpels and sewed your patients up with catgut like your great-great-great-great-grandfather used to. [insert name here] is right in pointing out the enormous danger potential in any technology as fantastically advanced as this. But I must point out that the possibilities, the potential for knowledge and advancement is equally great. Risk … risk is our business. That’s what this University is all about. That’s why we’re aboard her.”
