Ha, sounds like my experience with basic. I knew about loops, and goto, but had no clue what that darned 'gosub' did. So before I'd call 'goto', I'd set a flag indicating where I was calling from, and then for my 'return' I'd test the flag to figure out where to 'goto' back to.
Back on topic, I thought Cyc's makers had a number of commercial customers for their product. Granted it's not full AI, but the ability to make automated inferences from large sets of data might be attractive to certain companies.
