When you say "bag semantics" are you just referring to Set Theory? Is there a formal distinction between bags and sets?

This mindset is exactly why these assistants are bad. Start with the UX then work backwards from there and make it happen.

I would ammend the last two points and say Chemistry is Physics applied to physical primitives and Biology is Chemistry applied to organic phenomena or something like that.
