Hoi,'

Markus when you read my reply on the original question you will see that my approach is different. The first thing that I pointed out was that a technical assumption has little to do with what people need. I indicated that when this is the approach, the answer is fix it. The notion that a large number of returns is outrageous is not of this time.

My approach was one where I even offered a possible solution, a crutch. 

The approach Daniel took was to make me look ridiculous. His choice, not mine. I stayed polite and told him that his answers are not my answers and why. The point that I make is that Wikidata is a service. It will increasingly be used for the most outrageous queries and people will expect it to work because why else do we put all this data in there. Why else is this the data hub for Wikipedia. Why else 

Do appreciate that the aim of the WMF is to share in the sum of all available knowledge. When the current technology is what we have to make do with, fine for now. Say so, but do not ridicule me for saying that it is not good enough, it is not now and it will certainly not be in the future...

Thanks,
