Forgetting the Keywords

I just came across a nice quote from the Taoist philosopher Zhuangzi: "Words exist because of meaning; once you've gotten the meaning, you can forget the words." With a minor twist, it sums up the mantra of semantic search: "Words exist because of meaning; once you've gotten the meaning, you can forget the keywords."
